Open the Cages Alliance (OTCA)

Open the Cages Alliance (OTCA) is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to exposing and ending animal cruelty and promoting compassionate, healthy and environmentally responsible living through public awareness projects and targeted campaigns.

We serve the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC regions.

OTCA looks forward to working with other social justice organizations to highlight the interconnectedness of oppression and have an impact in our community. Thank you for your support!

Baltimore's participation in the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale was a scrumptious good time! Thanks to all our volunteers who came out to help, and to everyone who was sweet enough to purchase sweet treats from our table! Please save room for goodies at our next bake sale, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 3 at Station North Flea Market. We will have copies of Hannah Kaminsky's "passionate about dessert" cookbook My Sweet Vegan available for sale in addition to delicious treats!

Please note that our conference and benefit for animal rights prisoners, formerly scheduled for May 29, has been re-scheduled to Saturday August 7. We are putting together a not-to-be-missed event with educational speakers, musical/spoken word performers, and tasty vegan refreshments! Please stay tuned for more details!
