Alliance For Animals Milwaukee

Go Vegan!!

About Me

Alliance For Animals Milwaukee is an animal rights group based in beautiful, diverse Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We're a student-run group at UW-Milwaukee but many of our members are not students, so feel free to come to our events and bring your friends. We welcome anyone who wants to advocate for animals! We table at UWM, hold social events, hand out literature, do demonstrations and protests (fur stores, circuses, events involving animal experimentation), have vegan potlucks to introduce people to new foods (we love our vegan food, oh yes we do!), and host free speaking events. We are an activist group and we're here as a resource for anyone seeking information on veganism, vegetarianism or animal rights. We also publish the Milwaukee Veg Guide- watch for an updated guide coming out soon with all the veg*n yums Milwaukee has to offer!All of our events are open to the public and we welcome new members and visitors, so feel free to stop by! We love people and new ideas just as much as we love animals, so let us know if you want to be involved or if you have any ideas to share!

My Interests

meetings, activism, having fun, leaf-letting, letter-writing, cook-outs, speakers, vegan baking, tabling, cooking classes, parties, new faces and ideas, vegan cupcakes, vegan candy, conferences, dinner outings, finding new vegan eats in Milwaukee, talking about our pets, a lot.

I'd like to meet:

People from Milwaukee and surrounding areas who want to work towards ending animal cruelty and suffering, people who are interested in veganism/vegetarianism and want more information, and people who want to discuss animal rights issues!

Movies:

We're always looking for good animal rights movies- let us know what you like or want to see!

Books:

There are so many amazing books out there; we can't name them all. Ask us for a recommendation!

Some of our favorites:

"Diet for a New America"- John Robbins
"The Food Revolution"- John Robbins
"Mad Cowboy"- Howard Lyman

We're also big fans of vegan cookbooks. Tell us which ones are your favorites!

Heroes:

Howard Lyman, Farm Sanctuary, the Humane Society, John Robbins, and the many others who have saved countless animals from lifetimes of suffering.
