DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO BOOK THE PRESENTATION
You can provide these 12 materials to the members of each
sponsoring student group. These student groups can request funding for an honorarium which is donated to Food Not
Bombs. Colleges have provided Food Not Bombs with speakers fees ranging from $900 to
several thousand dollars. It is important to request the speaker fee and transportation
money as soon as the fall semester starts. Young Republicans
and other conservative groups can take all of the student activity funds if you hesitate. We are happy to help you
navigate the student government system at your school. Call us today at
1-800-884-1136.
You can download a sample black and white flyer
and add the date, time and location of the presentation. You can also download a sample full color flyer, and sample public service
announcement to provide to your campus radio station and newspaper. You may want to also email or fax this same PSA to radio stations,
newspapers and magazines off campus. You could send them this information as soon as you confirm the venue, date and time and resend the PSA again a week before the event. Follow up with a phone call. They may ask you to send the details to a number of people at each media location.
We will also provide you with the forms you will need to request the honorarium and a
check list to help you and your friends organize the presentation. We
make it easy to attract a big audience and encourage your classmates and
community members to join you in organizing for a better future. It is
more important then ever to bring the Smashing Hunger Squashing Poverty Tour to your community!
The Smashing Hunger Squashing Capitalism Tour starts with a literature table during lunch at your schools cafateria followed that afternoon or evening by
a 45 minute presentation about the history, principles and the current
actions of Food Not Bombs taking place around the world. Keith will also demonstrate the making of the tofu spread recipe featured in his book.
The presentation explains 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, the philosophy on why the meals are always vegan and free
to anyone who wants them without restriction. The presentation ends with
a 15 minute video about Food Not Bombs in Africa. You may want your club organizers to share
dinner with Keith before the presentation.
Your classmates and community members will be
inspired to join your student group after they attend this exciting
presentation.
Again schools have provided Food Not Bombs with honorariums from $900 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 the Smashing Hunger Squashing Poverty Tour.
