"A
nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military
defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual
death." Martin Luther King, Jr.
When a billion people go hungry each day, how
can we spend another dollar on war? Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer
movement that recovers food that would otherwise be discarded, and
shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungry in over 1,000
cities in 65 countries in protest to war, poverty, and destruction of
the environment. We are not a charity but dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action.
Our movement has no headquarters or positions of leadership and we use the process of consensus to make decisions. We also provide food and supplies to the survivors of
natural disasters, and people participating in occupations, strikes,
marches and other protests.
