 Not Bombs will be celebrating39 years of feeding social movements and the 
 hungry at the Soupstock Festival in Santa Cruz, California on Sunday, May

 Sleater-Kinney drew nearly 20,000 people. 
 (http://www.mtv.com/news/971654/fugazi-sleater-kinney-draw-thousands-to-outdoor-show/)\n\n\nWith 
 nearly a billion people going hungry each day how can we spend another 
 dollar on war? Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer movement that recovers 
 and shares free vegan or vegetarian food with the public without 
 restriction in over 1,000 cities in 65 countries around the world to 
 protest war, poverty and the destruction of the environment. Each group is 
 independent and invites everyone to participate in making decisions for 
 their local chapter using the consensus process. Food Not Bombs is 
 dedicated to taking nonviolent direct action to change society so no one is 
 forced to stand in line to eat at a soup kitchen expressing a commitment to 
 the fact that food is a right and not a privilege. \n\nDuring the past 39 
 years, Food Not Bombs volunteers have demonstrated their dedication to 
 nonviolent direct action in many creative ways. Activist shared vegan meals 
 with prisoners inside jails in the Philippines, fed units of the Burmese 
 military in Yangon, provided meals to the First Responders in New York 
 after 9/11, founded the first Animal Rescue shelters in Slovakia, and 
 inspired the protests that removed the corrupt government of 
 Iceland.\n\nFood Not Bombs has provided food and material relief to the 
 survivors of the Loma Prieta Earthquake in San Francisco and Northridge 
 Earthquake in San Fernando Valley, Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy as well as 
 Typhoon Yolanda, the Christmas Tsunami and many other disasters during its 
 39-year history.\n\nFood Not Bombs activist have been recognized as 
 Prisoners of Conscience by Amnesty International and called on their 
 unconditional release after having been jailed for sharing food with the 
 hungry. \n\nVolunteers fed the Peace Camp at Mas-ha Palestine, Camp Casey 
 in Crawford, Texas, weeklong protests against Exercise Talisman Saber in 
 Australia, WTO protests in Seattle, Genova, and Cancun, and Occupy camps in 
 cities across the United States.\n\nThe concert in Santa Cruz is the 
 centerpiece of a world gathering where Food Not Bombs volunteers will share 
 their experiences feeding the hungry and supporting peace, social justice, 
 and the environment.\n\nFood Not Bombs\nwww.foodnotbombs.net\n
