Food Not Bombs at Westmoore High School

Food Not Bombs has been invited to have a table at Westmoore High School's diversity night on Thursday, December 10th around 7 PM. We need people to bring vegan/vegetarian food (mostly vegan if possible) so we can distribute food to those who cannot afford the catered food that will be available. We will also be handing out flyers and giving information about why we do what we do.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Kristina at 405-887-7335

Thanks!

Mediocre Update.

Peace Fest was fun! There were lots of cool people and organizations. Thanks goes to Batch & co for letting us have a table. Big thanks goes to Jason for all the literature that we passed out. Click here if you want to check out some great pictures that Rena took. Who knows how many people we served? But, seriously, lots of people were into it. It was kind of weird. The food we served sucked, and people were still cool. Colton and I stayed up all night cooking a dish we called "Mediocre Stir Fry" and some mashed potatoes that weren't really mashed well. Ask Colton about the 200 chocolate chip cookies he baked. Almost everyone that stopped by our table was cool about our group and ideas. Pretty much all of the literature we passed out was either explicitly anarchist or close to it. We might have been the only group there that is comprised of homies under the age of thirty, so lots of people really appreciated that. My favorite experience was when some random older dude started talking to us about John Zerzan and Green Anarchy. Totally blew my mind! Our table was next to the Oklahoma Center for Conscience and Joy Mennonite Church booth, which was really cool.

Speaking of the Oklahoma Center for Conscience, they have some exciting events coming up.

Saturday, Nov. 21st - Planning meeting at 1:30pm at the Red Cup coffeehouse, 3122 N. Classen - organizing for a counter recruitment workshop in January and planning for other outreach opportunities

Saturday, Jan 9th - Counter recruitment intensive at the Scissortail Social Space, 3021 N. Walker, from 1:00 to 3:30pm - They will be doing hands-on training, role playing, and introducing volunteers to the best resources for counter recruitment and raising public awareness.

As always, email/call us if you want to help out or know more about what we do.

Andrew's Park next Sunday at 7:00 P.M.!

Yesterday.

"If they don't come to us, we'll come to them."

Last night just before setting up in Andrew's Park like scheduled, I decided it would be a good idea to go down to the Salvation Army emergency shelter and tell everyone that we'll be serving food at 7:00. Most of the people there were planning on staying there that night, and some had even just come back from Andrew's because they thought we might be down there earlier. I asked as many people as I could if they could come, even if I gave them a ride. But at Salvation Army, you have to sign in by a certain time, and the rooms are first come first serve. If you aren't there early, you don't have shelter that night, and if you're not back by 9, you're locked out. Needless to say they couldn't leave even for a minute to come eat with us. Upon investigating Andrew's Park for a population of people who might need food, we decided it was time to move the food over to Salvation Army and set up outside of our cars. With the exception of enormous amounts of bread, the food was distributed entirely to families staying at the emergency shelter.

The point of this story is to say that I need help promoting FNB until we get a good population of people to feed. If you want to help, please call us at 303-704-5223 or email us at normanfnb@gmail.com.

NEXT WEEK WE'RE SERVING AT LION'S PARK AT 7:00 P.M. PLEASE BE THERE.
