Event Policy
Proposals for events are approved by the group during general meetings (Sundays at 5 p.m.), on a case-by case basis with emphasis on the purpose and inclusiveness of the event. Priority is given to events that further the social goals of the space (opposition to all forms of prejudice, bigotry and oppression), as well as those that are both accessible and welcoming to a wide range of people. To propose an event, fill out the events form and bring it to a Sunday meeting, or submit it to a 123 volunteer in order to have them present it at the meeting. It is best to attend the meeting where your event will be discussed in order to answer any questions that may arise.

Come to our Freegan Feast Community Meal on Friday, November 28th At the 123 Community Space, 123 Tompkins at Myrtle (Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, take the G train to Myrtle-Willoughby) 3pm onwards to help cook and 8pm to eat El banquete comunitario de Freegans es el 28 de noviembre a la 3pm para ayudar a cocinar y a las 8pm es la cena, en 123 Community Space, 123 Tompkins en Myrtle (Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, toma el tren G a Myrtle-Willoughby) Freegan? Yes, living beyond capitalism. In making everyday food,corporations harm the environment, mistreat workers, and abuse animals. When we buy these products, we support these injustices, because corporations need our money to operate, and when their products sell, it just encourages them to make more. Freegans are people who avoid paying for food and other goods we use in a variety of ways – including recovering good stuff that stores waste. Every day, stores throw away and waste huge amounts of still-fresh food, because they order or make more than they can sell. They could donate it to charity – but instead they just throw it away! Freegans collect this thrown away food from the store’s garbage bags FOR FREE and eat it and share it with others! It may sound strange or gross – but the food is still clean, fresh, and safe to eat. On the day after Thanksgiving, Freegan.info invites you to a FREE dinner made from food collected from stores’ garbage. Join us to help collect the wasted food, prepare the meal... and EAT! Why the day after Thanksgiving? Because it’s Buy Nothing Day – a holiday designed to get people thinking about how workers, the environment, and animals are harmed in making the products we buy, and about all the good things we can do with our time instead of shopping. It’s a celebration of what can happen when you get OUT of the shopping mall, get your hands OUT of your wallet, and GET TOGETHER... and a rebellion against the oppression caused by our profit-driven system. ----- VENGAN A NUESTRO ¿Freegan? Sí, viviendo más allá del capitalismo. En la producción diaria de alimento, las corporaciones dañan el ambiente, explotan a los trabajadores y maltratan a los animales. Cuando compramos estos productos, apoyamos estas injusticias, ya que ellos necesitan nuestro dinero para operar – y si sus productos se venden – se ocasiona que produzcan más. Freegans son gente que evita pagar por comida y otros productos que se usan de muchas formas, además de rescatar otros bienes que las tiendas desechan. Todos los días, las tiendas tiran grandes cantidades de comida fresca, ya que ordenan o hacen más de lo que pueden vender. Freegans recolecta esta comida desperciada de las bolsas de basura de las tiendas GRATIS, nos la comemos GRATIS, nos la comemos GRATIS y ¡la compartimos con los demás! Tal vez te suena extraño y desagradable, pero la comida sigue limpia, fresca y es seguro comerla. El día después de Acción de Gracias, Freegan.info te invita a una cena GRATIS, hecha con la comida recolectada de la basura de las tiendas. Ven con nostros GRATIS, hecha con la comida recolectada de la basura de las tiendas. Ven con nostros GRATIS a ayudarnos a rescatar comida desperdiciada, preparar la comida y COMERTELA! ¿Por qué el día después de Acción de Gracias? Porque es el Día de No Comprar Nada – una celebración acerca de lo que puede suceder cuando ABANDONAS el centro comercial, QUITAS las manos de tu cartera y te REUNES con otra gente... Una rebelión ante la opresión causada por un sistema manejado por la ganancia económic. More info? www.freegan.info • • 347.724.6954 Start: 5:00 pm
