more about THE FOOD NOT BOMBS 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR and Keith McHenry's
30 years of community organizing.
The all volunteer global movement Food Not Bombs was started by eight
college age youth in 1980. Thirty years later Food Not Bombs is responding
to the global economic crisis by sharing vegetarian meals every week in
over 1,000 communities, planting Food Not Lawns community gardens, housing the homeless in
abandoned building with Homes Not Jails, organizing Really Really Free Markets and taking
nonviolent direct action. The Food Not Bombs 30th Anniversary Tour
includes a presentation about the history, principles and the current
actions taking place in over 1,000 communities around the world. Learn how
Food Not Bombs in Boston. Find out about the principles
of Food Not Bombs and why it is so important for the movement to have no
formal leaders and is able to be so effective because of its decentralized
autonomous structure. The presentation also explores the principles of nonviolence, how decisions are made by consensus, that
why the meals are always free to anyone who wants them without restriction
and why the food is vegetarian and vegan. Your classmates and community
members will be inspired to join your student group after they attend this
exciting presentation. Ask your student senate to fund this valuable
experience.
Please consider inviting Mr. McHenry to speak to your community. Speaking
fees are reasonable and donated to Food Not Bombs. Your community will find
Keith's message hopeful, motivating and full of useful information sure
to be an inspiration to everyone. If you don't have a local Food Not
Bombs group in your community you will after Keith's presentation. If
you want to increase the activities of your local chapter the presentation
is a great way to get more volunteers.
