  • STATEMENT of NONVIOLENCE (Page 1)
    THE FOOD NOT BOMBS MOVEMENT STATEMENT OF NONVIOLENCE All Food Not Bombs volunteers work for nonviolent social change and this is our statement. The name Food Not Bombs states our most fundamental principle: That our society needs things that give life not things that give death. Our society is dominated by violence and the threat of violence. This affects us both in our daily lives through the constant threat of crime and police abuse and less directly but just as seriously through the threat of total annihilation from nuclear war. The authority and power of our government are predicated on the threat and use of violence. They continue to spend more time and resources developing, using, and threatening to use weapons of massive human and planetary destruction than on nurturing and celebrating life. Food Not Bombs has chosen to take a stand against violence. As a group of individuals we are committed to non-violent social change through the celebration and nurturing of life by giving out free vegetarian food. Poverty is violence. By spending money on bombs instead of addressing human needs, our government perpetuates and exacerbates the violence of poverty in our society. One of the most direct physical expressions of the violence of poverty is hunger. Millions of Americans go hungry every day and childhood malnutrition contributes heavily to infant mortality rates, which are higher in parts of the U.S. than in some Third World nations. Inadequate or non-existent health care, police brutality, and class discrimination are also forms of systemic violence against poor people.

This Bulletin contains the outline and minutes of the meetings which took place during the last assembly in Warsaw. Furthermore you can find texts and other contributions from local networks and stars of the RtF constellation. The texts published in the bulletins reveal the diversity of the considerations and opinions that meet within RtF, and aim to feed reflection and mutual debate. The texts are the author’s responsibility, and don’t represent any position of RtF as a whole. Not all articles have been translated in all languages so not all bulletins are complete. For the next bulletin edition we need more support with translation ! So, if you would like to join the bulletin team please feel very welcome!!

Because the main role of the SG is supporting the prisoners, the newsletter can often come over a little negative, dealing as it does with issues like arrests, court cases, prison conditions etc. But we should bear in mind that prison support is not just important for those particular prisoners, it is vital to the success of the whole animal liberation movement. To paraphrase several earlier writers involved in social struggles, any movement that does not support its political internees is a movement destined to fail. At the recent AR2009 International Animal Rights Gathering in Oslo, one of the three days was devoted to the theme of repression of the movement, and how to overcome it. We heard about how repression, which used to be mostly restricted to the UK and USA, was now spreading to other countries, such as Holland and Austria, and we heard of disturbing links between our government and theirs on the subject of how to tackle animal rights “extremists”.

A reading of his work reveals that the one constant in his life in letters was the struggle to reconcile the apparent logical antithesis of universalism and particu­ larism, which this dissertation sees as one with resonance for all ethnic minorities. In the Chapter One, a general orientation in the modern Jewish world is provided, including the traditional worlds of Orthodoxy and Hasidism into which he was born; the trend toward the political emancipation of the Jews in Western and Central Europe and the subsequent waves of assimilation among young Jews; the exacerbation of antisemitic tendencies in both Eastern and Western Europe; the emergence of Jewish

    The Social forum-process; tendencies and features Niklas Hansson [email protected], [email protected] Department of Ethnology Gothenburg University Etnologiska Institutionen Göteborgs Universitet Paper från ACSIS nationella forskarkonferens för kulturstudier, Norrköping 13–15 juni 2005. Konferensrapport publicerad elektroniskt på www.ep.liu.se/ecp/015/. © Författaren. Introduction This piece of writing is concerned with contemporary politics, primarily focused on the World Social Forum, and the ongoing political process that I would like to refer to as the Social Forum-process. My point of entry as it comes down to this particular political process and my research, is the local “offspring” called the Gothenburg Social Forum. A Social Forum cannot be conceived of as the representation of a movement (a particular social movement and its’ repertoires and proposals), rather, the Charter of Principles1 (the document that “guides” this process) and some of the initiators of this political invention, proclaims it to be more like an open meeting place, for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences, and interlinking for effective action by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neoliberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any other form of imperialism and are committed to building a planetary society directed toward fruitful relationships […]2 – or that of a communicational and informational space. The Social Forum-process, the process that was set off into the world (if you look by datum) through the stimulation of what is called the World Social Forum’s Charter of Principles and which was launched during the first World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in the year of 2001 as an effect stemming from these efforts.
