Re: Bombs not Food! 

Also, what about some sort of sign at the table advertising how many bombs we've given away - like a chalkboard or something like it where we can write "5 bombs given" or something...kinda silly but seeing something like that would make me lol. (-.-);

Great ideas guys! ..one might even say that they're... bomb. ><!

Edit: The Food Not Bombs group on campus was visited for the second time today by a state health offical and the UNM police. They were threatened with more fines and told the next citation would result in the shutting down of their operation (read: removal from campus). Whether this will happen this Wednesday or next Friday or even at all (given the sketchy and unconsistent nature of these threats) is uncertain. I do believe this presses this mission forward however to intervene with any sort of actions that the UNM/ABQ police may take against the group next week. Soooo, that said, we need to pull this off by wednesday, or atleast Friday?

Is it possible? These are some things I think we must have to pull it off.

  • A table or something to stand behind and have our 'bombs' and info on
  • 'Bombs' -- these can be simple and easy and still get the message across -- paper mache or if not enough time, just black balloons?
  • Big sign(s) saying "Bombs Not Food" -
  • Participants! [ the times for the actual mission will coinside with when FNB serves food in front of the bookstore: Wednesdays  @ 11am-12~ and Fridays @ ~12pm to ~1pm]

 

That said, one meeting of the participants could be enough -- the bombs could be made, info could be gathered and organized and characters could be created. Might take all of an afternoon but we could also break up the work, some do the paper maiche and others gather the info or work on characters. Lets do this guys!

Holy crap 

Hi everyone,

I JUST stopped by Food Not Bomb's table on campus, and they said that the campus cops had been there moments earlier.  Apparently, the cops told FNB that they were going to receive a $3,000 dollar fine for their continued failure to comply, AND, if FNB does not desist by next Wednesday March 11th, they will be FORCIBLY EJECTED FROM THE PREMISES!

I don't know if we can get the Bombs not Food Mission together for that day, but if we can it would be a tremendous moment. 

If not, as many of us as possible should definitely be there in solidarity, maybe withsigns that say "Food is a right, not a privilege", etc.

We can talk more about this with Patrick and Emma on Saturday.

Re: Holy crap 

You know, UNM provides both research and development for new government weapons.

And now they're hassling people who want to feed the homeless?

This could be some incredibly relevant and cutting stuff here, if done right.

Re: Holy crap 

Whatever happened with this? Did we do anything? Did I miss it? 

I normally work on fridays during the day (until 3)  but anything I can do to help out with this mission I will do!
