07 May 2004

 This afternoon, at the corner of 5th and Green, the new local chapter of Food Not Bombs (see http://www.foodnotbombs.net) had its debut on the sidewalk in front of Pizza Hut. Passers-by stopped to have a free and healthy vegan lunch of soup, garlic bread, banana bread and Kool-aid.
This project was part of "The Public Square", a three-week long project dedicated to reclaiming public spaces while bringing issues that are under-discussed or confined to private sectors (such as teen sexuality, radical christianity and public school budget planning) into the public sphere.
Today's Food Not Bombs event was planned and orchestrated by members of the Comm 490 Political Performance class, as well as members of the IMC. Food was gathered both from surplus supermarket stock and local donations. |
