SUMMARY:Outreach with CAA at the MidCity Farmer's Market
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer to do Outreach at the MidCity Farmer’s Market\nJoin us at the MidCity Farmer’s Market on Wednesday\, June 18! Volunteers will run outreach games to help attendees learn about veganism and the impact eating different foods has on animals. Your help is critical to a successful event! You can sign up at the bottom of this page.  \nWhat is the MidCity Farmer’s Market?\nThe CAA student chapter at the UMN doing outreach. \nThe MidCity Farmer’s Market\, on the border between Minneapolis and St Paul\, is run by Brightside Produce\, MidCity Kitchen\, and the Minnesota Farmer’s Market Association. The market gives locals an opportunity to get fresh\, local produce\, artisanal foods\, handmade goods\, and more — and an easy way to support Minnesota’s local food economy. People of all backgrounds and ages are welcome.  \nVolunteering at the Fair\nAt the event\, we’ll be tabling from 4pm-8pm and shifts are two hours. Volunteers will engage attendees in discussing how to make our diets more humane by moving towards plant-based eating\, and invite interested people to take the Explore Veg Challenge and to take a simple remote action to protect animals\, like contacting their representative to promote stronger animal protections. \nAt the table\, we’ll have a spin wheel game where attendees guess an answer to a question that helps them learn about the conditions most common in agriculture. The information on the spin wheel is sourced from agricultural lobbies\, the USDA\, and academic surveys of farms. \nSample spin wheel questions include: \n\nHow many square feet of space are chicken farmers encouraged to provide for each chicken? \nPigs’ tails are part of their spine and have many nerves. What percentage of pigs on farms have their tails cut off without painkillers? \nChickens prefer to sleep through the night just like humans do. How many hours of consecutive darkness do farmers have to give birds to let them sleep?\n\nDon’t worry\, we’ll make sure you have the answers! \nThere is also a set of kid-friendly questions that encourage empathy for animals. We use these kid-friendly questions when children stop by.  \nWho can volunteer?\nIf you’re passionate about animal rights and/or welfare\, or about helping people move towards plant-based eating\, this event is for you. We’ll support you in how to do effective outreach. All are welcome to volunteer and no experience is required.  \nSupport for Volunteers\nWe’ll reach out to you a few days prior to the event to confirm your participation.  At that time we’ll introduce you to the staff leading the event. You’ll get their cell phone number in case anything comes up day-of. \nAt the event\, we’ll make sure you get a chance to know the staff and other volunteers participating in outreach. Then we’ll help you know what to say to attendees and give you spin wheel questions.  \nBefore your shift\, after your shift\, or during a quiet time in your shift\, we’ll have a plant-based snack and a drink for you to enjoy. We’ll also have a first aid kit on hand\, in case it is needed. \nGet involved at other Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) events!\nCompassionate Action for Animals (CAA) hosts many events throughout the year\, including Twin Cities Veg Fest\, the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge\, Vegan Recipe Club\, cooking classes\, potlucks\, outreach events\, and so much more! If you can’t make this event\, or just want to know about other opportunities to get involved with CAA\, we’ve got so many ways to connect with the community\, enjoy vegan food\, and make a difference.
