Open Streets Cedar-Riverside TV Outreach

Join us to help educate the public for a TV outreach event at Open Streets Cedar Riverside! With the State Fair beginning on Thursday, August 24th, we want to take this opportunity to talk to the community about the harmful consequences of cow's milk. We'll provide TV screens, signs, literature and a designated speaker(s). You're invited to hold the signs or screens while ARC representatives help onlookers process the footage that highlights what happens to dairy cows when they're exploited for human use. Attendees at previous events have reported appreciating the meaningful conversations and literature about animal rights and plant-based eating. Let us know you're coming by filling out the volunteer form: https://forms.gle/97z7vrHNcdqqiR2n8 Or, email ARC's Outreach Manager at kelsey@animalrightscoalition.com LOCATION: We'll meet at the corner of Cedar and Riverside in front of the Masjid Shaafici Cultural Center: 400 Cedar Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55454 If you have a black ARC shirt, please wear it! If not, please wear a plain black shirt, without any writing. **This event is weather dependent. Sign up for more opportunities to advocate for animals at the State Fair! State Fair Schedule: 8/23: Chalktivism on fairgrounds 8/24: 94 Bridge Outreach 8/26: TV Outreach on fairgrounds 8/27: Food Sampling on fairgrounds 8/29: 94 Bridge Outreach 9/04: TV Outreach & Food Sampling The MN State Fair claims to bring transparency to animal agricultural practices but instead it presents a highly sanitized version of the lives of farmed animals. Most of the farmed animals you see on display at the MN State Fair are living out the last days of their lives in crowded, stressful environments. This year, we're asking that the MN State Fair move with the future of farming, choose to promote plant-based agriculture, and end the promotion of the unsustainable and unethical practices of farming animals. Dairy cows are of special interest to our goal of ending the suffering of animals at the fair for three reasons. First, there are numerous dairy-related events at the fair involving the harming of cows, including the Dairy and Moo Booth and the Miracle of Birth Center. Second, consuming dairy products harms human health. And third, the breeding and farming of cows is harming our planet. *** For more volunteer opportunities and information, visit ARC’s Volunteer Network: https://sites.google.com/view/arc-volunteer-network/home
