NHARL will have our next vegan meetup on Saturday, January 25, at 11:30 am for lunch at the Oak House (110 Main Street) in Newmarket, NH.
While the Oak House is not a vegan restaurant, it offers many vegan options, including four to five vegan burgers, three to four vegan sandwiches, and three vegan kid meals.
These informal gatherings give us a chance to share good food, socialize, and exchange ideas about helping animals.
Everyone is welcome, and you don’t need to be vegan to come along. Just keep in mind that we’ll be enjoying delicious plant-based foods together!
Feeling sluggish amid the holiday indulgence?
Join us for a mid-holiday-season “reset” this Sunday, December 29 starting at 10:00 am at Juicilicious in Salem, NH (224 N Broadway).
Juicilicious offers a delicious array of juices, smoothies, bowls, and other plant-based options made with locally sourced, gluten-free, and raw ingredients — perfect for a healthy, refreshing start to the new year!
During 2025, NHARL continued to contact Manchester city officials about the cruelty and risks associated with bull riding. Nevertheless, the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Tour is returning to the SNHU Arena for two shows in December.
The PBR has also added Boston to the tour. That’s right — one of the nation’s most progressive urban centers is now seen as a profitable market for a bunch of pretend cowboys to bully, stress, and dominate bulls for entertainment.
Please join us outside the SNHU Arena (555 Elm Street, Manchester) for one or both peaceful protests against bull riding. Meet on the sidewalk near the arena’s front entrance on the corner of Elm St. and Lake Ave.
Signs will be provided.
Parking: Spots on the street are hard to find on event nights, but since we start early you may find one. The closest garage is the Center of NH Garage (65 Granite Street, Manchester). Business lots also offer event parking, but this is an expensive option. See SNHU Directions & Parking for more detail.
After failing to interest Manchester city officials in addressing the cruelty and risks associated with bull riding, NHARL staged a bold protest against the PBR.
Join NH Animal Rights League on Fur Free Friday, November 29, 2024 to protest fur.
The protest will take from 12:00 pm until 2:00 pm near the headquarters of the NH Fish and Game Department, at the intersection of Loudon Road and Hazen Drive in Concord.
You can join for any portion of the protest. Dress for the weather!
Signs will be provided, although you are welcome to bring your own.
Parking: Take a left onto Hazen Drive, and then your first left onto Charles Doe Drive. The parking lot is on the left.
We’re back with a traditional menu of all your favorite Thanksgiving dishes, once again catered by the talented chefs behind The Green Beautiful Gourmet Vegan Cafe in Manchester!
Gentle Thanksgiving Catered Event + Speaker
Saturday, November 16
11:30 am to 3:30 pm
McLane Center
84 Silk Farm Road, Concord, NH
We are also hosting a budget-friendly Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck on Nov. 2
Tickets for the event are $50 for adults (same price for members and non-members) and $15 for children (12 and under). Toddlers are free.
Your ticket includes:
We are delighted to have Bella O’Connor, legal fellow with the PETA Foundation’s Legal Team, as our featured speaker!
Bella will present Pathways to Progress, a results-driven talk that delves into the importance of changing laws and policies in creating a better world for animals, and how to do this most effectively.
Bella received her J.D. from Vermont Law and Graduate School, where she served as an environmental mission scholar and completed her formal concentration in animal law.
While in law school, Bella worked on a wide variety of animal and environmental issues with the school’s Farmed Animal Advocacy Clinic and during her time with Animal Partisan and Food & Water Watch.
She also holds a B.A. in peace studies from Wellesley College and previously worked as the state affairs intern with the Massachusetts Humane Society.
Bella is deeply passionate about creating a food system that protects and honors the inherent dignity of all animals and farm workers while safeguarding the precious natural resources we share.
Bella lives in South Royalton, Vermont, with her rescued fish companion, Dr. Pepper.
Given the rising cost of living, we are bringing back the budget-friendly Gentle Thanksgiving Potluck that so many of you fondly remember.
Please help us spread the word to old friends who enjoyed these potlucks but whom we haven’t seen in a while.
Along with a potluck meal, this gathering will be our Annual Meeting and will include a recap of the year.
Gentle Thanksgiving Potluck + Annual Meeting

12:00 to 3:00 pm
Marion Gerrish Community Center

Please sign up by October 30, so we can plan accordingly for the number of tables, beverages, and other essentials.
We’ll be having a book swap at this event, so you can trade your gently used vegan cookbooks and animal rights books. Bring a book, take a book!
This is a great opportunity to get out and be active with the whole family, including your pooch(es). Get in the Halloween spirit and wear your favorite costume!
Not up for breaking a sweat? You can also donate to support our walkers/runners or visit our table at the event.
On the donation page, be sure to type “New Hampshire Animal Rights League” in the box (shown below) so that the NHARL team gets credit.
It’s that time of year — time for our annual summer outing, postponed from August! Join us Saturday, September 7, 12:00 to 3:00, on picturesque Four Tree Island in Portsmouth for a vegan cookout.
Please sign up in advance, so we can have enough delicious food for everyone!
If you were signed up for the Aug. 10 Summer Outing, you’re automatically signed up for the Sept. 7 outing, unless you told us otherwise.
If you plan to be at the Sept. 7 event, you’re all set!
If you won’t be there Sept. 7, please click Sign Up; then click Change my sign up (top of page) and remove your name to prevent food waste. Alternatively, just send us a regrets email at info@nhanimalrights.org.
Thank you for helping us have an accurate count!
Our theme for this year’s event will be the impact of ocean plastic, ghost nets, and other marine debris on aquatic life.
We have an activity planned that requires a bag, so bring an old T-shirt and we’ll turn it into a reusable bag in minutes! A perfect use for an old animal rights shirt. (We will have some extra T-shirts.)
The event menu will include burgers, hot dogs, pasta salad, potato salad, chips, and desserts. All vegan, of course!
We will also have a zero-waste drink station with water, lemonade, and iced tea.
Don’t forget to enjoy the snow cone machine. Great for kids of all ages!
Feel free to bring your own lunch and beverages (no alcohol allowed) if you desire something different.
This is a free event but donations to NHARL are welcome. The New Hampshire Animal Rights League works for the fair treatment of all animals, in New Hampshire and beyond. We are a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer organization, working on behalf of animals since 1977.
