THE FOOD NOT BOMBS STORY

Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary
movements active in North America today and is gaining
momentum all over the world. There are hundreds of
autonomous chapters sharing vegetarian food with hungry
people and protesting war and poverty throughout the
Americas, Europe and Australia. The first group was
formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980 by
anti-nuclear activists. Food Not Bombs is an all volunteer
organization dedicated to nonviolence. Food Not Bombs has
no formal leaders and strives to include everyone in its
decision making process. Each group recovers food that
would otherwise be thrown out and makes fresh hot
vegetarian meals that are served in city parks to anyone
without restriction. The groups also serve free vegetarian
meals at protests and other events.

Food Not Bombs works in coalition with groups like Earth
First!, The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, Anarchist
Black Cross, the IWW, Homes Not Jails, Anti Racist
Action, In Defense of Animals, the Free Radio Movement
and other organizations on the cutting edge of positive
social change and resistance to the new global austerity
program. One collective publishes a movement wide
newsletter called A Food Not Bombs Menu. There is also a
German language Menu. Food Not Bombs Publishing in
Takoma Park, Maryland publishes books like "On Conflict
and Consensus" which has been an important guide for
group democracy. We hope you will join us in taking direct
action towards creating a world free from domination,
coercion and violence.
