Consciousness Shift

Sacramento Food Not Bombs serves a free vegan meal at Cesar Chavez Plaza (10th & I Streets, downtown Sacramento) every Sunday at 1:30 pm. Everyone is invited.

Mission:



" Food Not Bombs is organizing for an end to the occupations of Iraq,

Afghanistan and Palestine. We also support actions against the globalization

of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people and the destruction

of the earth.



Food Not Bombs is an all volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolence.

Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders and strives to include everyone in its

decision making process. Each group recovers food that would otherwise be

thrown out and makes fresh hot vegetarian meals that are served in city

parks to anyone without restriction. The groups also serve free vegetarian

meals at protests and other events. The San Francisco Chapter has been

arrested over 1,000 times in an effort to silence its protest against the

Mayor`s anti- homeless policies. Amnesty International states it may adopt

those Food Not Bombs volunteers that are imprisoned as "Prisoners of

Conscience" and will work for their unconditional release.



Food Not Bombs works in coalition with groups like Earth First!, The Leonard

Peltier Defense Committee, Anarchist Black Cross, the IWW, Homes Not Jails,

Anti Racist Action, In Defense of Animals, the Free Radio Movement and other

organizations on the cutting edge of positive social change and resistance

to the new global austerity program. One collective publishes a movement

wide newsletter called A Food Not Bombs Menu. Another hosts FNB News where

you can learn more about the Food Not Bombs community. Food Not Bombs

Publishing in Takoma Park, Maryland publishes books like On Conflict and

Consensus which has been an important guide for group democracy. We hope you

will join us in taking direct action towards creating a world free from

domination, coercion and violence. Food is a right, not a privilege."
