MN College Leafleting Week: A Record-Breaking Success!

And it’s that success that inspired an even bigger, better statewide event this past October—not Leafleting Day, but Leafleting Week. By expanding this outreach event to a full week, we were better able to accommodate the schedules of our busy activists, resulting in more leaflets distributed at more colleges around Minnesota.

From Monday, Oct. 22 through Friday, Oct. 26 (and a few days afterward), a total of 55 activists leafleted at 26 colleges and 2 high schools around the state, for a grand total of 11,693 leaflets! This time around we were able to cover 10 more schools—some of which had never before been leafleted—and distribute over 2,000 more leaflets!

For a full listing of the schools that we leafleted see below.

A few highlights from the week:

•  Countless students absorbed in reading the leaflet shortly after receiving it

•  A number of students cited the pamphlet as their impetus for going veg

•  Many students enthusiastically telling us that they were already vegan or vegetarian

Indeed, as long as consumers remain unaware of the realities of modern animal production, cruel practices will continue to go unquestioned. Leafleting empowers the recipients with the information necessary to making informed and compassionate food choices.

We hope you’re inspired to leaflet with us at several other colleges and evening concerts that attract receptive teenagers and young adults. Please send us an e-mail at info@ExploreVeg.org to get involved with our fun and effective campaign.
