The Eat-In Manifesto

If you think your Eat-In would benefit from words of inspiration, feel free to use this slightly whimsical manifesto, which was distributed at the first Eat-In in Dolores Park in San Francisco. It’s ready for you to download and print.

...

AN EAT-IN IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE GATHERING IN PUBLIC TO SHARE A HOME-COOKED MEAL.

AN EAT-IN IS A PROTEST AGAINST FOOD THAT IS FAST, ARTIFICALLY CHEAP AND INDUSTRIALLY PRODUCED.

AN EAT-IN IS A DEMAND FOR FOOD THAT IS GOOD, CLEAN AND FAIR.

AN EAT-IN IS A DECLARATION THAT THIS FOOD MUST BE RECOGNIZED AS A UNIVERSAL RIGHT AND MADE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.

AN EAT-IN IS A CELEBRATION OF THE PEOPLE WHO GROW, PRODUCE, SELL AND COOK OUR FOOD AND OF THE PEOPLE WHO SHARE FOOD WITH OTHERS.

AN EAT-IN IS A CALL FOR THE GENERATION INHERITING OUR FOOD SYSTEM TO GET OUT OF THEIR CARS, TURN OFF THEIR COMPUTERS AND COME TO THE TABLE.
