Join Nick, one of the Animal Rights Coalition Dine Out hosts, for brunch at Lutunji's Palate! This is a great opportunity to meet like-minded folks and have a delicious meal while supporting restaurants with awesome vegan options.

Everyone is welcome! You do not need to be vegan to attend.

They have a vegan breakfast sandwich, omelette, and lunch sandwich as well as a dedicated section for desserts! Check out their menu here: Lutunji's Palate - Food Menu

Parking: Street Parking with meters is available. There are also several pay lots within a couple blocks.

RSVP Agreement:
Please make sure to keep your RSVP up to date and arrive on time. These dine outs often fill up fast with people added to the wait list. Please be fair to them so that they have a chance to see if they are able to attend. This is also important so that we can give restaurants an accurate number as they are often busy and holding spots for us which could have gone to other customers.
I will send a reminder to everyone 3 days before the dine out. Canceling within 24 hours of the dine out time or not showing up will both count as a strike (unless you were on the wait list and were added because someone dropped out within 24 hours). If you get 3 strikes in a year you won't be able to attend future dine outs.

We recently did a styrofoam cat shelter build and made great progress, but we need to finish them! This will include attaching insulation to the inside of the coolers, wrapping them with poly plastic, and filling them with straw.

We only have space for 8 people to attend so please be sure to 𝙍𝙎𝙑𝙋 𝙤𝙣 𝙋𝙊𝙄𝙉𝙏 by clicking the link below, and if something comes up and you cannot make it, switch your RSVP so someone else may attend 🙂 The address (Minneapolis) will be disclosed to those attending to prevent extra folks from showing up that we simply don't have enough space to accommodate.

𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗨𝗦 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘: https://dash.pointapp.org/events/505750

Join us for our monthly volunteer meeting and potluck! As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking time to honor a major milestone: the 50th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. animal rights movement in 1975.

To mark this historic moment, we’ll be watching "Five Decades – One Mission," a powerful six-part documentary series produced by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement). The series features interviews with ten early leaders of the movement and explores the roots, growth, and lasting impact of animal rights activism in the United States.

The 3.5-hour documentary commemorates two pivotal events from 1975: the publication of Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, which introduced the concept of animal rights to America, and the World Vegetarian Congress in Orono, Maine, which helped bring early activists together. Through interviews with Peter Singer, Freya Dinshah, Alex Hershaft, Victoria Moran, Jim Mason, and others, the series traces the movement’s origins, early campaigns, influential publications, and honors key pioneers whose work shaped the movement we’re part of today.
We’ll enjoy good company and tasty snacks while watching the first half of the series, followed by an in-depth discussion on the importance of these early actions and the animal heroes who made them possible.

Join us for the meeting in March to watch the second half of the series!

Everyone is welcome—you don’t need to be vegan to attend ARC events.

Food and beverages will be provided, and we’d love it if you brought a vegan dish to share!
