A year ago, some New Hampshire progressives, who had elevated Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to a decisive victory in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary there, told NPR they weren’t so sure they wanted to see him run for president again.
But with just days until the first votes of the 2020 presidential primary, in Iowa, it appears that progressives are coming back to Sanders. His polling has risen in recent weeks, as a number of progressive groups announced their support for him, and as many voters on the left ultimately decided to stick with him.
Food Not Bombs is a loosely organised worldwide network of volunteers
dedicated to changing our society. The amount of money spent by
governments on weapons of war could feed the hungry many, many times
over, but instead, it is spent on violence, creating yet more hunger.
Meanwhile the capitalist system our food is produced in results in vast
quantities of perfectly edible, good food being thrown out, rather than
eaten, despite the many people who need it.
Food Not Bombs Dundee is dedicated to taking action around issues of capitalism, food waste, poverty, hunger, militarism and speciesism that affect our society, as well as to supporting local activist and community groups in their intersecting struggles for social justice. We also support protests, strikes and other events with food. If you’d like to collaborate, get in touch.
1. The food is always vegan and free to everyone without restriction, rich or poor, stoned or sober. 2. Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders or headquarters, and every group is autonomous and makes decisions using the consensus process. 3. We believe in solidarity, not charity.
Food Not Bombs aims to provide a radical counter-narrative to the current political and economic system by building our own sustainable and cooperative communities, demonstrating that we can replace the current violent and abusive system with one of cooperation, equality and abundance in very practical ways. We believe that sharing free food without restriction and expectations, and working in solidarity with those who we share our food with, is a revolutionary act in a culture that is devoted to profit and consumerism.
