Laramie Food Not Bombs

What´s Food Not Bombs?

Food Not Bombs is an independent organisation which collects and serves vegetarian foods to other people. The food come from markets, stores and bakeries are collected for free.

The name Food Not Bombs states our most fundamental principle: society needs to promote life, not death. Our society, and especially those in power, condones, and even promotes violence and domination, leading to terrible suffering. This affects our everyday lives through the constant threat of violent crime, domestic violence, police repression, and the threat of total annihilation from nuclear war and the use of other weapons of mass destruction.

Food Not Bombs principles

The most important principle or Food Not Bombs is feed every who´s hungry. Besides, we want to call attension to poverty and homelessness in industrialized countries.

We act:

Because FOOD is a RIGHT not a privilege!

Because there is enough food for everyone to eat!

Because SCARCITY is a LIE!

Because a woman should not have to use her body to get a meal, or to have a place to sleep!

Because when we are hungry or homeless we have the right to get what we need by panning, busking or squatting!

Because POVERTY is a form of VIOLENCE not necessary or natural!

Because capitalism makes food a source of profit not a source of nutrition!

Because Food Grows on Trees.

Because we need COMMUNITY not CONTROL! Because we need HOMES not JAILS!

Because we need... FOOD NOT BOMBS
