On Sunday, Jan. 4, KCPD arrested 2 members of FNBKC during our weekly meal share on trespassing charges. KCPD forced all FNBKC volunteers to leave & dispersed anyone present for our meal.
Food is a human right. We have the right to public spaces.
We intend to continue sharing with the community.

What is Food Not Bombs about?
It's a protest.
It's solidarity.
It's community.
It's mutual aid
And nobody is going to stop us under any circumstances from doing our best to uplift each other & our environments - nobody.

7 million people marching was impressive, but what are they doing today, next week, and next month? We can't wait 13 months and vote really hard against fascism in 2026.
What if 7 million people unionized? Went on rent strikes? Swarmed their nearest ICE Office? Sat in at the offices of their reps?
