KEITH’S BIOGRAPHY
Artist and author Keith McHenry helped start Food Not Bombs in 1980 with seven of his friends. Keith has recovered, cooked and shared food with the hungry with Food Not Bombs for over 45 years.
He was arrested “for making a political statement” by sharing food with the hungry in San Francisco, spent over 500 nights in jail and faced 25 years to life in prison. Amnesty International declared Keith a Prisoner of Conscience in 1995 and called for his unconditional release.
He wrote and illustrated “Hungry for Peace – How you can help end poverty and war with Food Not Bombs”, “The Anarchist Cookbook” and his memoir “Soup Street.”
Keith has traveled all over the world speaking at colleges, books stores and community centers. When traveling he helps share meals with local volunteers in one of the nearly 1,000 Food Not Bombs groups in 70 countries.
He is an officer in the National Union of the Homeless and the Santa Cruz chapter of the California Union of the Homeless.
Keith helps prepare and share meals with the hungry in Santa Cruz, California. He also responds to requests for information on how to start, maintain or find local Food Not Bombs chapters.
He also draws, paints, and writes articles about environmental, social change, and liberation issues.
