A new Food not Bombs group in Whitechapel is getting ready to fight poverty and offer free soup for the revolution in Altab Ali park in Whitechapel! This is a fundraiser to support the group in getting cooking utensils & for people to find out how to get involved & support. If you believe poverty is a form of violence, that food is a right – not a privilege, if you’re angry about the government spending millions in arms sales to repressive states while people starve, then please join us! Let’s beet the system!
