Mid Atlantic Animal Rights Coalition
The
Mid-Atlantic Animal Rights Coalition (MAARC) serves as a support
network and a unified voice for the mid-Atlantic grassroots animal
rights community. Through resource sharing, a website and special
events, we will enhance the ability of our members to:
 |
Realize their potential to effectively
protect animals and their habitat at a local level |
|
Effectively use the media and the
political process to better the lives of animals
|
|
Produce literature and other
educational materials for optimum local impact |
