Food is a Right, Not a Privilege

Join Richmond Food Not Bombs to help cook for the May Day Living Wage at VCU Rally.
May 1st at 10am at 1401 West Leigh Street (not the same address where we cook on Sundays)

Much of the prep work will take place before the cooking period; don’t be alarmed by the short period of time.

Food Not Bombs is making rice, chili, and green salad to serve after the VCU Living Wage Campaign’s May Day rally for a living wage. The cooking will take place at Kat McNeal’s house, near the Lombardy Kroger. If you become lost, call Kat at 703-859-0393.

We need extra hands primarily for loading the vehicles, some vehicles to load, and some people who feel comfortable lifting heavy pots of hot food. We will serve at 1pm, at Monroe Park.

We also need a volunteer to print handbills for FNB, to provide to diners who may not have heard of us.

Wednesday May 1st from 12 noon to 1pm at the VCU Commons Plaza

May Day is a day to celebrate the victories of the working-class in their struggles against exploitation and oppression throughout history. Join the Living Wage Campaign and its allies on May Day, International Workers’ Day, as we rally for a living wage for service workers at VCU.

The average VCU service employee, especially those working through Aramark, rarely receives a pay raise. Many VCU employees must hold more than one job just to make ends meet. At the same time, many adjunct professors also do not make a livable salary and have no insurance or job security.

It is our tuition money that funds VCU, and we have every right to be outraged. The mistreatment of workers and the misplaced priorities of VCU come at the expense of the students as well.

The rally will start at noon in the Commons/Ram’s Plaza (where the big ram horns are).

Richmond Food Not Bombs will be providing some food for folks at this rally as an act of solidarity. If you are able to, bring some money to donate to FNB, or bring a grocery item we use (oil, sugar, salt, flour, spices, pasta, rice) etc. You could also come help us cook any Sunday from 12:30 to 3:30 at 2005 Barton Avenue, come eat in the park every Sunday at 4pm at the corner of Main and Belvidere in Monroe Park, or come clean up after the meal at 2005 Barton Avenue.

Sunday, June 30th 2013: Us at Richmond Food Not Bombs, The Wingnut Anarchist Collective and various other groups (do you want to join us?) shall be celebrating our own “Independance Day” in our own independant way.

Anarchy flags will be raised and we will be cooking out in Monroe Park that Sunday just like our usual Food Not Bombs routine! Come celebrate anti-militarism and our desire for the downfall of classim, racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism and all hierarchies! By the people, for the people.

Food Not Bombs will be bringing grills, vegan hot dogs, and other vegan cookout style foods, and convening in Monroe Park a little earlier than usual, in order to have the grills fired up to serve food around 4pm.

Food Not Bombs was started in the 1980′s in Boston as an action in opposition to war and the military industrial complex. We’ve had Food Not Bombs in Richmond for almost 20 years now.

If you or your organization would like to join us please do. Feel free to bring your own grills, charcoal, food to share, tables, entertainment, pickup trucks,non-alcoholic beverages, literature, banners, etc. or to share ours.

Let’s share Food in Monroe Park and share ideas in regards to a world independent from the Military Industrial Complex and Endless War.

This is a sober, all ages event.
We meet at the corner of Main and Belvidere in the park.
People with pickup trucks should bring them so we can put grills in the beds if necessary.
Musicians, puppeteers, etc. encouraged.

Richmond Food Not Bombs cooks from 12:30 to 3:45 every Sunday at the Wingnut Anarchist Collective at 2005 Barton Avenue.

Often there is some downtime during the meal preparation and cooking time. To take advantage of that time to do more politically with Food Not Bombs we are trying the following idea.

The Wingnut will now be providing the info and address of one political prisoner each week, who has a birthday that month, that folks can write a short note or a few words of encouragement to, which we will then mail out.

We know that a lot of folks are not used to writing full letters, and we hope that through collaborating to fill paper with notes and drawings we can bring some cheer and solidarity to folks from various radical social movements (like ours) who are incarcerated.

Folks interested in further prisoner support work should get in touch with SPARC- Supporting Prisoners and Acting for Radical Change https://m.facebook.com/pages/Supporting-Prisoners-and-Acting-for-Radical-Change/162470913799582?id=162470913799582&_rdr
