FNB in Haight and Church Groups: Church groups and FNB share a serving line, time and space on Saturday. This group serves meat and dairy, has a bullhorn, it creates some confusion and some are people uncomfortable. We will bring this up next month when people from Saturday are present and try to broker a solution.

Screen Printing: Is happening soon, in October. Details TBA talk to Arriana about it!
Noisebridge: Thoughts about approaching Noisebridge for a FNB serving. We don’t currently have a person who wants to do this, but if we did would want someone who was a super reliable bottom-liner: no rotting food, no dirty dishes, no BS, no drama. Right now focusing on developing In The Works.

The City of Orlando, the home of Disney World in Florida, is being sued in court today over a city law that has effectively made it illegal for any group to feed more than 25 people at a time in downtown parks without a permit. It also limits groups to no more than two permits per park, per year. The group Food Not Bombs has refused to obey the new law—saying food is a right, not a privilege—and has continued to serve free meals to the poor and homeless. However, over the past month more than 20 members of the organization have been arrested. Read more at Democracy Now
