Veg Week starts Sept. 29 and we need as many volunteers to help plan the events as possible. Are you involved with a local band? Have an in at veggie friendly establishments? Want to host a veggie potluck? Interested in passing out information at local colleges or distributing posters?

Compassionate Action for Animals hosts an annual Veg Week in the Twin Cities and we would like to kick one off in the Duluth area! The event includes a “Pledge to be Veg” element in which people either sign up to be vegetarian or vegan for the week depending on their current diet, and receive a vegan care package and a Pledge to be Veg Card that offers discounts at local veg-friendly establishments. There are many things that we could plan including film viewings and veggie cookouts. The more help and ideas the better this event will be. Help put together Duluth’s first annual Veg Week!
