The Film that Environmental Organizations Don't Want You to See
Join ARC's North Vegans for a free showing of Cowspiracy at Parkway United Church of Christ, 3120 Washburn Ave. N in Minneapolis, on Thursday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m. We'll have a Question & Answer session after the movie, with vegan snacks provided.
Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature length documentary that follows filmmaker Kip Anderson as he uncovers the most destructive industry on the planet today, animal agriculture – and investigates why leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.

Join the Global Vegan Waffle Party
On Sunday, May 17 it's time for the 7th Annual Global Vegan Waffle Party. The party is from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Fuller Park Building, 4800 Grand Ave. S (corner of 48th and Grand) in Minneapolis.
Every year, the Waffle Party allows us to begin a conversation with interested and curious waffle fans about where our food comes from and the effects of our food choices. Here's how it works: We make a lot of vegan waffles. You come to the party with a plate to pile high with waffles and a vegan topping to share (some topping suggestions: fruit, maple syrup, chocolate chips, peanut butter, fruit sauce, compote, Just Like Honey, coconut, nuts, vegan whipped topping). It's free and Fuller Park has a playground and a field perfect for tossing a frisbee, so now that the sun is finally out, you can connect with nature too! RSVP on Vegan Meetup or Facebook.
