Who are the AETA 4?- On February 19-20, 2009, Joseph Buddenberg, Maryam Khajavi, Nathan Pope, and Adriana Stumpo, were arrested by the FBI and charged with violating the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. They are now facing a maximum of ten years in prison for their alleged crimes, which include attending demonstrations and other First-Amendment protected activity. They will need your support as they face a long trial process to prove their innocence.

Why Is May Day Important to You?
Planning for the 2nd annual Richmond May Day Parade is already underway. If you missed the meeting last night, no worries, try and make the next meeting on January 10th at 7pm (after Food Not Bombs) in Studio 3 at Plant Zero on Southside. Or ask Kenneth Yates for more details etc.
I wanted to start thinking about why May Day is important to me, because I have a bad memory and forget details easily. I’m doing some research to remind myself. I would much rather celebrate holidays like May Day than ones like Christmas.
May Day is important to me because it is one of the few radical holidays we have. Read the rest of this entry »

Print & Distribute! RePHRAME Propaganda!
We understand that everyone who cares about any given cause can’t always take to the streets and be directly involved with the many many campaigns going on through out their community, but one quick and easy thing we can all do is print out a couple fliers and place them in strategic locations. ie. the office, coffee shop, bulletin board, or even in their own home. Please print and distribute freely any fliers, posters, pamphlets, leaflets, etc found on this site.

Come hang out at the Wingnut and learn about writing letters to political prisoners!
Talk about experiences writing to prisoners.
Then we can all write letters together.
Learn what a political prisoner is, and what is up with political repression these days.
We need prisoner support for folks who are locked up. You know you would want letters if you were in prison!
We will provide: paper, envelopes, pens, addresses of prisoners, tea and vegan snacks!
Please bring: Friends, money for stamps or stamps!

The Wingnut Wants Your Junk!!! (haha)
Johnny Ray, Jeremy and myself have been working our butts off fixing up the Wingnut (our house in Barton Heights on Northside). It looks like we will be done with the getting the house up to code construction very soon. But we will still have lots of work to do- we are going to be implementing strategies to make the house more sustainable as well as more fun. We are also looking to gather materials so we can make the house a super good environment for Food Not Bombs, and also make Food Not Bombs more sustainable. If you have any thing that you think we might like (remember, we are wingnuts) let us know and we can even come pick it up. Or if you want a tour of the house (you know you do, its flippin sweet) you can call me and arrange a time to come on by!
Ideas for the type of stuff we are looking for:
5 gallon buckets
shelves
picture frames

The Big Dixie
I bought a house.
Weird, right.
Using my good credit and with the help of my parent’s good credit (thanks class privilege), I bought a house in Richmond.
It is a big house, but needs work before I am allowed to live there.
Things which have to be done include:
New Electric
New Plumbing
Install Bathroom and Kitchen Floors
Build Bathroom Wall
Pass Lead paint inspection.
When done though, The Big Dixie will be home to Richmond Food Not Bombs and other epic projects.
If you wanna help paint or clean, holla
