POLICE RAID FOOD NOT BOMBS HOUSES AND OFFICE
Volunteers with the global nonviolent movement Food Not Bombs and RNC Welcoming Committee charged under the Patriot Act alleging acts of terrorism.


The FBI and other security forces are waging a national campaign against Food Not Bombs. Even though Food Not Bombs is dedicated to nonviolent social change our movement has been listed as a terrorist group by U.S. federal authorities. Volunteers arrested during raid of the Minnesota Food Not Bombs houses in the Twin Cities have been charged with "Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism." In California the East Bay Food Not Bombs office at Long Haul was raided and 13 computers were taken. Elle Magazine reports that the Sacremento California office of the FBI paid a college student $75,000 to disrupt Food Not Bombs. The FBI provided her with blasting caps, plans to build a bombs and a car and house wired to record audio and video. As many as 20 volunteers are in U.S. prison accused of terrorism. The FBI claims they have infiltrated our movement disrupting our work to feed the hungry and work for peace. Consider contacting the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees and request an investigation into the U.S. government's national campaign to stop Food Not Bombs.

Please contact the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security by calling (202) 226-2616 and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee member Barack Obama at (202) 224-2854 or (312) 886-3506 Also please call St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman 651-266-8510 and Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak (612) 673-2100.
