Hey this is Marianne not Eoin as u might have guessed. For anyone who's interested this guy will be speaking and showing a video in Spacekraft on Tuesday Dec 2nd at 7.30

Keith Mc Henry, the co founder of Food Not Bombs is due to visit Ireland next week as part of his Drop Bush Not Bombs tour.

Food Not Bombs is a worldwide organisation based around taking food which would otherwise be wasted and using it to feed the hungry and/or homeless. It emphasises both the exess waste in todays consumer based society and the amount of money wasted on wars when people are going hungry.
We also provide food for political events or demonstrations.

Food Not Bombs Ireland is relatively new, the current Dublin group began at Reclaim the Streets on Car free day last year. Other groups began to appear around the country at the same time and we have worked together to provide food at anti-war marches including Feb 15th and numerous demonstrations in Shannon as well as each RTS and Buy Nothing Day.
The Dublin group have had run-ins with the park keepers in Stephen's green and have successfully given out veggie burgers outside Mc Donalds and in other locations.
We get out food from vegetable markets at the end of the day or from supermarkets who disgard huge amounts of bread daily.

More people are needed to keep Food Not Bombs going and if anyone is interested in helping please contact us at [email protected]

Keith will be arriving in Dublin and will remain here for a few days. He will talk about the movement he helped start 23 years ago. He will describe Food Not Bombs history, his experience as an American political prisoner and the global Food Not Bombs movement. He will show a video about Food Not Bombs. Keith will also discuss the movement's future and plans for A Food Not Bombs World Gathering to be held the week before the Republican National Convention in New York City.

He will be speaking in Dublin in SpaceKraft on December 2nd at 7.30pm. SpaceKraft is located on Strandville avenue, North Strand, Dublin 3.

He will travel to Shannon and be there for the Blockade on December 6th helping food not bombs groups from around Ireland to prepare and dispense food. From there he will travel to Belfast on the 7th where he will also be speaking before leaving for Scotland to continue his tour.
 
No the Shannon meeting is on Wednesday. Anyone who is going to Shannon should be there. If you dont turn up it becomes a few people deciding things for a whole busload of people and we all know thats a bad thing dont we kids.
So be there.
