Cooking for the Occupations...
Sharing the campaign to end the criminalization of poverty, and how you can participate in the global protest movement against economic austerity!
An inspiring presentation by Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry and video about the movement in Africa.
McHenry; "Most people would elect to end hunger and poverty but many of the people running for office have another agenda, cutting social services while transferring our tax dollars to wealthy military contractors and their corporate friends. While elected officials cut social services like unemployment insurance, food stamps, education, health care and other basic necessities, they pass laws against the poor and evict the occupations seeking to defend the 99%.
"Food Not Bombs is responding to this crisis by recovering, preparing and sharing vegan meals and groceries with the hungry in nearly 1,000 communities. This presentation will inspire you and your friends to join the Food Not Bombs movement and help our dedicated volunteers organize, implement and feed the global
campaign to end hunger and poverty."
Copies of Keith’s new book “Hungry for Peace”, as well as local grassroots, alternative and Occupy literature and information will be available at this event. Local Food Not Bombs cooks and justice advocates will be there to share local news and introduce emerging Food and Justice Coalition of Santa Cruz's vision. News about the River Street Eleven's political prosecutions, too. The District Attorney has indicted local grassroots media people and Occupy participants for alleged felony vandalism in response to a bank building take-over they merely witnessed. Learn about their legal support.
