In 1980, an organization was formed based on the radical notion that human beings
should always have access to nutritious food and dignified shelter. The founder of Food
Not Bombs, Keith McHenry, started the non-profit after seeing food at his local grocery
store thrown out every day. Today the organization that started in Boston has spread to
65 countries and has over 1,000 chapters, according to McHenry. Those who come to his
talk on Friday can expect “to hear about a bit of the history of Food Not Bombs [...] what it
can do to address the situation of being in a Trump era and how it can be a positive force
for resisting the Trump administration,” McHenry says.
McHenry began his speaking tour to promote his new book, The Anarchist Cookbook (reci-
pes for vegan food and protests, not bombs), but decided after Trump was elected that he
had more to offer. “It occurred to me that some of the things I’ve learned would be useful
in this context, especially affinity groups.” McHenry hopes to leverage his experience as
an activist to help others organize affinity groups to participate in political actions.
He plans to talk about some of his experiences in the anti-nuclear movement. Food Not
Bombs is about more than vegan meals for the unhoused, he says. “Part of my idea is not
only to protest Trump, but to replace the system with one that is really life-affirming.” He
hopes those who attend will decide to volunteer their time for the Eugene chapter, which
prepares food on Fridays at 1 pm at the Campbell Club and serves it at 3 pm in Kesey
Square.
Keith McHenry will speak from 6 pm to 8 pm Friday, March 17 in McKenzie Hall room 129
on the University of Oregon campus. FREE. — Kelly Kenoyer
