Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) has been serving the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) community and Midwest region since 1998 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. CAA’s programs include a number of different outreach, education, and community-building activities. Many of our programs take place on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, where we are also a registered student group. We also have chapters in Duluth and St. Cloud, MN.

Mission

Compassionate Action for Animals encourages people to cultivate empathy for animals and move toward a plant-based diet.

Vision

We envision a world where all animals, human and nonhuman, can thrive.
