vegetables-200x150.jpgCompassionate Action for Animals (CAA), created to inspire respect for animals and to promote vegetarianism, started in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) community in 1998. In 2003, CAA opened a chapter at the University of Minnesota, and today engages in efforts to promote respect for animals throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area, various Minnesota college campuses, and all over the nation.Through educational outreach, speaker events addressing animal, ethical, and health issues, publications, food giveaways, and cooking classes to show how delicious vegetarian and vegan food is, CAA is promoting awareness of vegetarian and vegan dining, making it more convenient, more available and more delicious than ever before.
