CAA Makes University of Minnesota Most Leafleted College in the US!

In fall 2003, Vegan Outreach, the makers of the "Why Vegan?" and "Even If You Like Meat..." pamphlets, started the nationwide Adopt-A-College (AAC) program to encourage activists to regularly leaflet at their local colleges. Although CAA has been leafleting at the University of Minnesota and other colleges for many years, we have now topped the list with the U of M as the most leafleted school in the United States since the inception of AAC! Recently compiled statistics from Vegan Outreach show over 39,070 leaflets being distributed by at least 24 activists on 126 occasions! The U of M is the fourth largest university in the U.S., with an average enrollment of 50,000 students.

We're very proud to have reached so many new individuals with powerful information on the animals' plight and positive alternatives.
