The Massachusetts Animal Rights Coalition, or MARC, is a nonprofit volunteer-run animal rights organization based in Massachusetts. MARC is the largest and most active animal rights group in Massachusetts, with over 700 members of all ages and backgrounds.

MARC targets a broad range of animal rights causes, including animal testing, animals in entertainment, wildlife conservation, and the rights of companion animals, fur animals, and farm animals.

According to the group, their typical activities include protests and leafletting, public educational outreach, tabling, talks, letter and phone campaigns, letters to editors, face-to-face meetings, media interviews, conferences, walks and marches, and legislative action. MARC has held hundreds of public events in Massachusetts to raise awareness of animal suffering.
