"Since when did feeding the homeless become a terrorist activity?" asked ACLU Associate Legal Director Ann Beeson. "When the FBI and local law enforcement target groups like Food Not Bombs under the guise of fighting terrorism, many Americans who oppose government policies will be discouraged from speaking out and exercising their rights."

Artist and author Keith McHenry is a dynamic, inspiring and experienced public speaker with a wealth of knowledge about the global movement Food Not Bombs. He helped start Food Not Bombs when he was a 23 year old college student seven of friends in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980. As a child he lived at the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Big Bend and other National Parks and then moved to New England to study painting at Boston University. Keith was inspired to share vegan meals with the hungry while trimming produce at Bread and Circus Natural Foods Grocery, discarding cases of organic produce every morning. After feeding the hungry and working for social justice, animal rights and peace in Boston he moved to San Francisco and started a second chapter. He has recovered, cooked and shared food with the hungry with Food Not Bombs for over 30 years. He was arrested "for making a political statement" in San Francisco, spent over 500 nights in jail and faced 25 years to life in prison. Amnesty International declared all Food Not Bombs volunteers prisoners of Conscience working for Keith's unconditional release. He just spent 17 days in jail for sharing vegan meals with the hungry in Orlando, Florida. He co-wrote "Food Not Bombs How to feed the hungry and build community"" as well as wrote and illustrated "Hungry for Peace - How you can help end poverty and war with Food Not Bombs" He has traveled all over the world speaking at colleges, books stores and community centers while sharing free vegan meals with many of the over 1,000 Food Not Bombs groups active around the world. When he isn't on the road Keith lives in Taos, New Mexico growing his own food, sharing meals each Saturday, maintaining one of the movement's websites and coordinating logistics for Food Not Bombs.
