 poverty, \nand how you can participate in the global protest movement 
 against economic austerity!\n\nAn inspiring, lively presentation by Food 
 Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry and video about the FNB movement in 
 Africa.\n\nMcHenry ~ "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 
 likeunemployment 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%.\n\n"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\ncampaign to 
 end hunger and poverty."\n\nCopies 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. \n\nLocal 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. \n\nNews about 
 the River Street Eleven's political prosecutions, too. Santa Cruz County 
 District Attorney has indicted local and grassroots media people, and 
 Occupy participants, for alleged felonies in response to a bank building 
 take-over they merely witnessed. Learn about their legal support and 
 needs.\n\nThe event is presented by Food Not Bombs international and Occupy
