Food Not Bombs is an energetic grassroots movement organizing for peace and justice while sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people around the world. Each group recovers food that would otherwise be thrown out and makes fresh hot vegetarian meals that are served outside in public spaces to anyone without restriction. Since the first group was formed in Cambridge, MA over 25 years ago, Food Not Bombs groups around the country have worked to end hunger and supportactions to stop the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people, end exploitation and the destruction of the earth.
Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolent social change. Food Not Bombs Boston/ Cambridge cooks at Spontaneous Celebrations Friday mornings and then serves from 4-6pm at the Boston Commons (park street stop of green line).

Queer/LGBT Argentine Tango

Phone: 310.929.7023
Website: http://tango.duroyvio.com
Schedule: Sundays 7-10pm
7-8: Absolute Beginner series starts March 30
8-10: Instruction for Continuing Beginners & All Levels Practica (Practice)
*Note: The first Sunday of the month, we meet ONLY from 9-10 for the Practica.
Duro y Vio teach social close-embrace tango, the dance of the neighborhood community centers of Buenos Aires. This is the most connected dance. It’s not flashy, but it sure feels good. The follower listens with their body. The leader waits in the embrace until inspired by the music. Leaders may dance to the rhythm, the melody, or the decorative elements of the music – or change back and forth between them. As the leader expresses the music, the attentive follower is ready to go in any direction at every moment, so they are able to move as one, although every step is improvised. Our classes and practicas are queer space, which means that we encourage gender complexity and exploration.
