MN State Fair 94 Bridge Outreach

Join ARC in advocating for animals at the State Fair by displaying ARC's 6' campaign banner on the 94 bridge! Volunteers are needed to hold the large banner and other campaign signs as traffic builds up on Hwy 94. We'll meet in the large parking lot across from Total Tool (315 N Pierce St., Saint Paul) before heading up to the bridge. If you're interested in volunteering, fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/856EQexao3RAmbdy5 Or, email ARC's Outreach Manager at kelsey@animalrightscoalition.com Chalk will be provided to write and/or draw positive messages to the public during and after the event. **This event is weather dependent.

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
