{PBJFlorida} THE SMASHING HUNGER SQUASHING POVERTY TOUR with Food Not Bombs Co-founder Keith McHenry

I hope you had a great summer. We sure did. The Food Not Bombs Free
Skool really made progress and next summer promises to be even better.
This is the 25th anniversary of the first arrest of our volunteers for
sharing ideas and food. Since that day on August 15, 1988 the
authorities have tried to stop our progress by arresting our activists
as they provided food to the hungry.

Each wave of arrests inspired the formation of another wave of Food Not
Bombs groups. This summer Food Not Bombs groups have once again been
threatened with arrest and over 50 cities in the United States have
passed laws banning or restricting our work. August 15, 2013 is also the
final day to donate to the Food Not Lawns Solar Pump House so please
consider making a contribution at the website below. Today it is more
important than ever to seek change and one of the most effective ways to
help is to volunteer. We encourage you to bring Food Not Bombs
co-founder Keith McHenry to speak with your community. His cooking
demonstration is an inspiration and will not only encourage
participation in Food Not Bombs but support any effort you may be
involved in.

As you start back to school and the many other fall activities I hope
you will consider bringing Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry to
your school or community venue. Keith's presentation is sure to inspire
your classmates, friends and family. Visit our website and read all the
positive comments students have made about past presentation. You don't
want to miss this opportunity. Speak with club leaders at your campus
and ask them to host the Smashing Hunger Squashing Poverty tour. Don't
wait to book Keith as soon as possible before his schedule is filled.

THE SMASHING HUNGER SQUASHING POVERTY TOUR with Food Not Bombs
Co-founder Keith McHenry

Food Not Bombs volunteers have been smashing hunger and squashing tofu
in protest to the exploitation of capitalism for over three decades.
During Keith's tofu spread demonstration he will talk about the
principles, history and Food Not Bombs participation in the global
transformation away from corporate domination. Hunger and poverty are
intentional features of capitalism and will increase as corporate power
increases. Over 25,000 people die every day because of hunger often as
tons of food pass them on the way to better prices.

Oxfam and the UN are reporting that hunger will be on the increase this
year leading to civil unrest and violent police repression. The
capitalist food system is not only causing millions of animals to suffer
but is directly responsible for an increase in food insecurity, disease
and the climate crisis. Keith's presentation will inspire you to
participate in the transition to a future free from violence and
exploitation.

Copies of Keith's book "Hungry for Peace" with the tofu spread recipe
will be available at the presentation

Keith's book Hungry For Peace "is a self-defense guide for the
compassionate, a catering cookbook for the generous, and a history of
social change, but above all it's a hymn to compassion. "
