Food Not Bombs is organizing to defend the homeless while providing survival gear to help replace their items that were trashed by the police. Many unhoused people report they have no place to be. The number of people likely to become homeless is sure to grow. Nearly 80% of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Please join us in resisting these cruel policies.

The Houston police are issuing tickets to our Food Not Bombs volunteers each evening when they share their meals outside the downtown library. The first jury trial was set for June 1, 2023. After juries found ruled in our favor the state regrouped and tried again. When they couldn't find anyone who thought it reasonable to fine people $500 for feeding people the city is rethinking their strategy.
The first ticket was issued on March 1, to HFNB volunteer Benjamin Franklin Craft-Rendon. Since then, members of the group, as well as a member of a religious organization also handing out meals, have received at least five tickets. One volunteer, Shere Dore, has been ticketed twice. Each ticket comes with a fine of $50 to $2,000. Houston Food Not Bombs has another victory as a Federal Judge ordered the city to stop ticketing the volunteers.
