[lecture] “Elect to End Hunger and Poverty”

     

Keith McHenry is an author, activist, and co-founder of the social movement Food Not Bombs. The movement consists of autonomous, consensus-based chapters in hundreds of countries around the globe that recover food, usually vegan, which would otherwise have been wasted by local markets, prepare it, and distribute it freely in public places.

McHenry will speak about his experiences in the evolution of this global movement, its role in historical political actions, and its interactions with state agencies—including McHenry’s frequent arrests for serving food and other nonviolent civil disobedience.
