"The Diggers' philosophy influenced the thinking of a young man named Keith McHenry, who would go on to become one of the most important figures in the freegan movement. McHenry, who is now 53, came from a family with a prestigious pedigree; his ancestor, James McHenry, was one of the signers of the Constitution.

Learn more about the Smashing Hunger, Squashing Poverty tour and Keith McHenry's 30 years of community organizing.


The Smashing Hunger, Squashing Poverty tour includes a presentation about the history, principles and the current actions of Food Not Bombs. The presentation describes how 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 vegan meals 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. Your community will also learn why Food Not Bombs has 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 vegetarian and vegan and free to anyone who wants them without restriction. The presentation ends with a 15 minute video about Food Not Bombs in Africa. We also offer presentations on the roll of Amnesty International, The National Lawyers Guild and many other groups that have worked to defend Food Not Bombs, history and current actions to defend the environment, work for peace and social justice, the liberation of animals, workshops on nonviolence, a presentation about domestic spying in the U.S., and our work to end hunger and poverty. 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. Colleges have provided Food Not Bombs with honorariums from $900 to several thousand dollars. Keith donates the honorarium to Food Not Bombs and is very flexable with the price. The presentations are always free to Food Not Bombs groups. Talk with the other student organizations on your campus and ask them to help host one of these valuable presentations.

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.

Call Food Not Bombs at 575-770-3377. You can email Keith at keith@foodnotbombs.net to make arrangements. You can call also us toll free at 1-800-884-1136. Keith is honored to give a free presentation for any Food Not Bombs group.
