Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry will demonstrate how to
prepare solar baked goods while giving a presentation about the history,
principles and and Food Not Bombs global campaign for the change we
knead now! Volunteers recover, prepare and share vegan meals and
groceries in nearly 1,000 communities, feeding the hungry, supporting
nonviolent direct actions in resistance to the global economic,
political and environmental crisis while implementing a foundation for a
sustainable future. Tax payers have spent trillions to bail out the
banks and fund wars for corporate domination now ith's time to bail out
our communities.
Food Not Bombs started in 1980 when eight college aged activists dressed
as generals and started holding bake sales pretending to buy a bomber.
Thirty years later Food Not Bombs organized a two month long vigil
outside the White House baking bread in a solar oven to build popular
support for a conversion from a carbon based war economy to a
sustainable solar future.
The Change We Knead Now! Bake Goods Not Bank Bailouts presentation will inspire
your classmates and community members to take action for a sustanable
future. We face greater challenges of hunger, climate change, political
repression and abuse of the earth and its animals. Over 800 million more
people are going with out regualr meals as a result of the global
economic crisis. Data shows the climate is in crisis. Millions face
death and starvation as the environment is stressed from the
exploitation of the earth's resources. Over 20 percent of public
school students in America are homeless. Record forclosures are sending
families to seek meals at Food Not Bombs in communities all over the
globe. Fortunatly, Food Not Bombs is responding to the global
economic and ecological crisis by sharing vegetarian meals every week in
over 1,000 communities, planting community gardens, housing the homeless
in abandoned building, organizing really Really Free Markets and taking
nonviolent direct actions to stop logging, mining and other assults on
our planet. The The Change We Knead Now! Bake Goods Not Bank Bailouts Tour includes a number
of workshops and presentations.
The The Change We Knead Now! presentation includes a solar baking demonstration
details about the history,
principles and the current actions taking place in over 1,000
communities around the world. Learn the story of how eight college
students started Food Not Bombs in Boston in 1980. Learn 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 explores Food Not
Bombs dedication to 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 or vegan.
