About News Not Bombs

News Not Bombs is edited and produced by members of Canton Food Not Bombs. Canton FNB is a Pan-Left group that believes food is a right, not a privilege. We are a horizontally operated working-class collective that believes: direct action gets the goods, solidarity over charity, we keep us safe, and a meal tastes best when shared with your community.

Members and non-members are encouraged to submit relevant and creative work to the News Not Bombs quarterly zine. Credit will always be given to the author/creator by the name given.
