Florida has the third-largest unhoused population in the country, with 27,487 people experiencing homelessness.
Food Not Bombs volunteers distribute free food and supplies at a protest in Columbus, Ohio, on January 20, 2021.
According to Nicholas Cubides, who was recently charged, a police officer first approached the group while they were feeding about 40 houseless community members. The officer asked for a permit and eventually let the activists go. But later, five officers approached, blocked the road, and four different vehicles “swarmed” the activists asking for identification. They were held for about 30 minutes and given the citations.
In addition to providing meals, Food Not Bombs also shares literature promoting anti-capitalist politics. They have been sharing food with the community for more than 16 years in Nancy Graham Centennial Square. Carly Prinzo, Jacob Robbins, and Cubides were each issued a citation for not complying with the ordinance, which took effect at the end of March and requires those hosting any food-sharing or public expression event involving 25 people or more to obtain a $50 permit.
