binomo download Food Not Bombs, is serving up the tastiness for you every Wednesday at the Downtown Tucson Public Library at 4pm. This last picnic event was a great success, that is, until the Purple People showed up and called the Tucson Police Department.
The weekly Food Not Bombs picnic managed to last for a little over an hour, before two uniformed police officers dispersed people, on dubious authority in the matter. We noticed that the Purple People, 5 in all, took quite an interest in the eating habits of people eating on public land. Read more at IMC AZ...

Call for all mobile kitchen and FNB collectives around Europe

The idea is to have "Argentina-style" street protest together with Food-not-bombs action - people should bring pots and pons with them for doing noise and also for eating.
More kitchens are needed because Czech FNB groups are not able to fed thousands of protestors expected. If you could come to join the protests, please let us know (e-mail:info@antinato.cz) but without any details concerning when you come and which way! There is a chance you won't be able to cross the border so we don't want to help the police by writing any details! You will receive the telephone number to call when you are actually stopped.

Food Not Bombs Mission to Palestine Thwarted
Three Richmond activists with Food Not Bombs formed a delegation to join International Solidarity Movement with its Freedom Summer campaign to resist the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine. The delegation was committed to taking nonviolent direct action against the inhumane occupation and stand as a grassroots media collective to document and expose human rights abuses by the Israeli military forces as well as represent the common voices of the Palestinian people to the world.
However, after arrival to Tel Aviv airport, all three activists were held in separate cells without reading their rights and no formal appeal was offered as their laws require. At 6 PM that evening the delegates were escorted by armed guards to a police vehicle and driven to the next departing flight from the airport. Passports were retained by the Israeli police and handed over only to the captain of the airline for the entirety of the flight to London.

Olympic Protests - End to Poverty in USA
Click here for Photos of Various Events
2/8/02 - Approximately 400 people rallied in Salt Lake City on February 8th, the opening day of the Winter Games, for the
"March for Our Lives," led by organizations from the
Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign.
Despite the continuing attempts of the Utah Legislature to
cast peaceful protest as terrorism,
the March's message of ending poverty in America and prioritizing the general welfare of its citizens
(including health care)
was not silenced. Police stopped the march as it moved towards the Olympic Stadium,
arresting
5 march leaders (see photos here)
including Cheri Honkala, Director of the
Kensington Welfare Rights Union
and Bonni Macri, Utah Director of
JEDI for Women.
Other civic groups made more
direct connections between the Olympic Games and environmental and
social justice causes. The Citizen Activist Network staged a
"Mock Torch Run" designed to bring attention to the backgrounds of the corporate sponsors of the Games. And as the
real torch run arrived for the Games Opening Ceremony, labor/human rights groups were
criticizing the use of torchbearer uniforms that were manufactured in Burma, even though it is well known that the purchase of such products provides
support to one of the world's most brutal military regimes and
entails questionable labor standards.
The Chinese spiritual sect known as Falun Dafa also
brought hundreds of its adherents to Salt Lake City to protest the
repression it faces within China,
2/10/02 - More than 200 Tibetans and supporters from various countries demonstrated in Salt Lake City,
calling on the International Olympic Committee to refrain from holding 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing until the situation in Tibet and China shows signs of fundamental improvement.
2/12/02 - In response to a
national call to action against state repression several activists
marched through downtown Salt Lake City to draw attention to the unprecedented level of surveillance and
security spending during the Games and the harassment of dissenters under the guise of anti-terrorism measures.
2/14/02 - As the US announced plans to conduct an
underground subcritical nuclear weapons test in the Nevada desert at noon on Valentines Day, the
Shundahai Network quickly organized a protest
in front of the Nevada Tourism Office in downtown Salt Lake City.
