Community Solidarity Dinner + Movie Night

Low income people would spend that at McDonalds - i.e. crap food that shortens their life, and no film.

Guess u never lived on the unemployment/sickness benefit and/or lived on the street with no money.

Is this the answer from the organisors?

Thanks for that but I await an reply from the organisors of this event.

And as hard as it is to live on the invalid's benefit I guess u also know then how much harder it is to survive on the sickness/unemployment benefit. Do you deny that fact? You only just survive on your benefit.

And please note I said the kaupapa was good but the cost is too high. It puts low income people off from going. Why would you do that? Maybe there is a alck of understanding of how it is to have little or no income? Maybe the organisors don't have a clue what is happening in the world of the low income? I guess once we hear from them we will know. But right now their silence is loud.

I will always support the low income. Sadly some here don't.

I think you're confusing Food Not Bombs with this event, which is Food Not Bums.

Yes, but we should recognise that this is a fundraiser, not a derro feed. If too many come along and turn it into a bum feast, they will eat up any funds raised.
In a recession, we tighten our belts.
In a depression, there are no trousers.
