Are you surprised to learn that on March 8, 2006, an Austin, Texas FBI officer gave a guest lecture at the University of Texas School of Law and in his presentation he listed Indymedia and Food Not Bombs as “Terrorist Watch” cause groups in Austin? You can read more about that here:

Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer organization that recovers food that would otherwise be thrown out and serves vegetarian meals to the public at no cost. Indymedia provides an open newswire in which readers may publish news, events, and commentary. That sounds like solidarity to me, not terrorism.

Food Not Bombs and the community drum circle are not only valuable aspects of the Wednesday afternoon Farmers Market, but important social spaces for art, compassion, nourishment and entertainment in Santa Cruz.
