Soupstock 2010
30th anniversary festival May 23rd from 12:00 noon to 5:00 PM on the Boston Commons.
BOSTON CELEBRATES 3 DECADES OF COOKING FOR PEACE

Seven anti-nuclear activists started a collective that came to be known as Food Not Bombs in Cambridge, Massachusetts after the May 24, 1980 Seabrook Occupation Attempt. They recovered surplus food that couldn't be sold from grocery stores, bakers and food manufacturers. This food was distributed to housing projects, daycare centers and battered women's shelters. They also prepared vegetarian meals and shared it along with their literature at protests. After nearly 30 years, this small experiment grew into a worldwide movement with over 1,000 autonomous chapters taking action on every continent, with the exception of Antarctica. The founding chapter of Food Not Bombs is organizing a celebration to mark the first 30 years of Food Not Bombs on May 23, 2010 in Boston, Massachusetts.

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE


Hello Fellow Food Not Bombers!

The Boston chapter of Food Not Bombs wanted to let everyone know that we're planning a 30th anniversary festival for next year, May 23rd, on the Boston Common. The first Food Not Bombs started in 1980 in Cambridge, MA. Currently, the Boston group serves at the Boston Common near Park Street station. Organizing the festival is going to be a very large task. We want to raise awareness and get as many people as possible to come. It would be great to have people from FNB all over the United States helping with this event.

Some ideas we had for the festival include:
  • Music: Acoustic and Electric
  • Speakers talking about food security and related matters
  • Performance: brass bands, puppetry, theater, circus
  • Farms: CSA farm share presentations, animals grazing on the common, workshops,
  • Tabling: FNBs from other places, collectives, infoshops, other organizations

Please let us know if any of you are interested in being involved with organizing, have knowledge about festivals, or just would like to attend. We'd love to have you on board.

Love,
Kassie Food Not Bombs Boston
