"The money spent by the world on weapons in one week is enough to
feed all the people on earth for a year. When millions of people
go hungry each day how can we spend another dollar on war?"
"Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements active today. There
are over 70 autonomous chapters feeding the hungry vegitarian food
and protesting poverty throughout the world. The first group was
formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980 by anti-nuclear activists.
Food Not Bombs is an all volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolence.
Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders and strives to include everyone in its
decision making process. Each group recovers food that would otherwise be
thrown out and makes fresh hot meals that are served in city parks to anyone without
restriction. The groups always serve free vegitarian meals at protests and other
events. The San Francisco chapter has been arrested over 800 time in their effort to
silence it's protest against the mayor's anti-homeless policies.
These arrests have been near the UN plaza where the United Nations was founded in 1945.
Food Not Bombs is on the cutting edge of positive social change
and resistence to the new global austerity program. We hope you will join us in taking
direct action towards creating a world free from domination, coercion, and violence."
