’Food Is A Right’, FNB Budapest Weekend Action, 17 – 18 November
From the organizers: The actions are solidarity demonstrations to raise awareness of housing poverty, homelessness and mass food waste: people to know that a lot of things are working in a wrong way within this social/economic system and we face these problems day by day when we step out on the streets: we see poverty, starvation, homelessness and the growth of housing difficulties.

FNB Budapest is not only trying to reflect on these problems but standing in solidarity with all the poorest and unbacked human beings as well, because they believe that the right to food and housing are basic human rights.

Programme for the weekend

Central Market Hall: Budapest, Vámház krt. 1-3., 9. district

We want to save as much food as possible from rotting, so we're going to the markets. If you have some stronger bags, please bring them to the market action for carrying the vegetables and fruits!
