WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT THE TOUR


Food Not Bombs, more than a meal, we are a movement with a message. A presentation sure to insire your community to take acton and change lives.

Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry will share the story, principles and current activities of the movement including the participation by volunteers in the occupations. Keith will also invite the audience to participate with their local activist groups. This is a great way to inspire participation in your local social justice community.

Most people would elect to end hunger and poverty but many of those elected to political office have another agenda, cutting social services while transferring our tax dollars to wealthy military contractors and their corporate friends. Food prices are increasing as crops fail because of the climate crisis. Oxfam and the UN are reporting that hunger will be on the increase leading to civil unrest and violent police repression. The industrial food system is not only causing millions of animals to suffer but is directly responsible for an increase in hunger and climate change gasses. You can make a difference by bring the Elect To End Hunger and Poverty Tour to you community. Contact us at menu@foodnotbombs.net for details on how you can bring Keith to your community.

Food Not Bombs is responding to the economic, ecological and political crisis by recovering, preparing and sharing vegan meals and groceries with the hungry in nearly 1,000 communities. Food Not Bombs also provides meals at protests and provides literature at their regular meals. Many have expressed that the presentation was an inspiration saying that they were moved to participate in efforts like Food Not Bombs, Food Not Lawns, Homes Not Jails, the Food Not Bombs Free Skool and other exciting projects. Sponsoring student groups also report an increase in participation by those attending the presentation.

"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 ELECT TO END HUNGER AND POVERTY TOUR and Keith McHenry's 30 years of community organizing.


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 vegetarian 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. The Elect to End Hunger and Poverty Tour includes a presentation about the history, principles and the current actions of Food Not Bombs taking place around the world. 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 $500 to several thousand dollars. 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.
