The decision to hold this event came out of a Food Not Bombs convergence earlier this year. The focus of the event will be on resistance to fascism.
From the flyer:
On November 13, 2005 in St. Petersburg, Russian nazis killed 20 year old Timur Kacharava - a student, a musician, an antifascist, our comrade. Timur was attacked on his way from a "Food Not Bombs" action : he served out free vegetarian food to the homeless and people in need.
Today, this FOOD NOT BOMBS global action is devoted to Timur's memory and is taking place in a lot of different countries such as Belarus, France, Russia, UK, Lithuania, Ukraine, USA, Australia...
We are serving food for those who are in need on the streets, in our cities and towns. We want to call your attention to the nazi problem which exists at the moment - and which governments of some countries prefer to ignore. Timur and other people were killed by nazis right in the centres of big cities.
FOOD NOT BOMBS was created during the 80's in the USA as part of the anti-nuclear movement. Now we are everywhere.
FOOD NOT BOMBS : Self-organised groups who are for solidarity, vegetarianism and anti-fascism all over the world.
Daily you pass people who do not have the essentials to live. Why is this happening? Who is profiting from this? Why is nothing changing? We know that if you want to change something - you have to act. We're sure that everybody can act. Today a lot of people will read this leaflet - in different languages – around the whole word.
Tomorrow is a new day and what it will be like depends on you.
On us. On everybody.
The group in Sydney will be doing an action on Saturday November 10 at 2pm at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Victoria Park. As well as the international focus of anatifascist solidarity, the group has a local focus of supporting opposition to the Australian government's intervention in Aboriginal communities.
