Keith McHenry helped to start Food Not Bombs in 1980. Its 
members were arrested many times for feeding the hungry. 
Amnesty International worked for their freedom and announced that  
all Food Not Bombs volunteers would be "Prisoners of Conscience" 
if convicted. Rather than stop our work it inspired a global 
movement. 

Food Not Bombs is growing more today than at any time in our 
history, starting "Food Not Lawns" community gardens in over 60 
cities this summer.  This spring aboriginal youth started a Food Not 
Bombs chapter in Alice Springs, Australia sharing meals at the foot 
of Ayres Rock in the Northern Territory. Along with their normal 
weekly meals, Food Not Bombs groups have also been providing 
food and logistics to climate change activists at protests from 
Reykjavik, Iceland and Santiago, Chile to Hobart, Tasmania. 

Food Not Bombs groups in South Korea have been feeding striking 
auto workers, Jakarta Food Not Bombs organized a Really Really 
Free Market sharing free meals, healthcare, books, clothing and 
other useful household items. Russian Food Not Bombs groups are 
organizing actions to stop the wave of Neo-Nazi violence and our 
volunteers in Israel and Palestine are busy planting olive trees along 
with feeding workers and immigrants. The Russian language edition 
of Newsweek Magazine ran a feature article about our movement in 
May. 

Food not Bombs provide meals in over 1,000 cites every week and 
reach thousands with our message of peace, hope and cooperation.

While the corporate media is painting a bleak future of war, poverty, 
elections and destructive commercialism, Keith McHenry's Food not 
Bombs presentation provides a global view of successful nonviolent 
direct action involving tens of thousands of activists who are making 
a difference.

Last August,  the FBI raided Food not Bombs houses in Minneapolis 
arresting volunteers just before the Republican National Convention. 
Food not Bombs volunteers are known for their dedication to non-
violence and the government's attempts to label them as "terrorists" 
is sure to backfire in upcoming trials.

Food not Bombs is currently working with the Taos Peace House in 
New Mexico, where McHenry lives, helping to organize the World 
Peace Conference in May 2009.
