The Food Not Bombs presentation includes the history, principles and accomplishments of this movement that works for peace sharing free vegetarian food in hundreds of communities all over the world. Learn the story of how eight college students started Food Not Bombs in Boston in 1980. We talk about the principles of Food Not Bombs and why it is so important for the movement to have no formal leaders and why each chapter is autonomous. The presentation also explains how the movement has become global because of it's dedication to the principles of nonviolence, that decisions are made by consensus, that the food is free to anyone who wants it without restriction and that the food is vegetarian or vegan. The audience will see why Food Not Bombs has inspired several generations of dedicated peace activists.
