25th Annual Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk

 
4 miles. 90 minutes. 8000 steps.
 
Join us on March 27 to help end hunger in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and around the world.

The Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk is a four-mile stroll through Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and the UNC campus, beginning and ending at the Carrboro Town Commons.  Over the past quarter century, the event has become a festive community tradition and has raised over $1 million dollars to fund hunger relief programs both locally and around the world.  25% of the money raised goes to support the IFC's food programs in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.  The remainder is used by Church World Service for it's international hunger prevention efforts.

Registration begins at 1:30 at the Carrboro Town Commons.  The walk begins at 2:30.  Activities and entertainment will be provided prior to the walk and snacks will be available afterwards. 

Bob Timberlake, North Carolina’s internationally acclaimed artist and a UNC grad, has graciously donated a special limited edition signed reproduction of one of his paintings. For every $100 walkers raise by walk day, they will be given an entry into a drawing to win the Timberlake reproduction. See the painting here:

Jess Sundin, Antiwar Activist Targeted by FBI Raids, Speaks Out

Target of FBI Raids, Jess Sundin, Will Speak in Chapel Hill on Nov. 30

Event is part of a national week of actions in solidarity with those being targeted by the FBI

Please join us Tuesday Nov. 30 from 7:00pm - 8:30pm, at the Chapel Hill Public Library (100 Library Drive, Chapel Hill NC). Minneapolis antiwar activist Jess Sundin, one of the people targeted by the Sept 24 FBI raids, will be speaking in Chapel Hill about the raids and the growing movement to defend those being attacked by the FBI.

On September 24, the FBI raided the homes of 14 well-known anti-war and human rights activists in Chicago and Minneapolis. They also raided the office of the Minnesota Anti-War Committee. That same day, two activists in Durham, NC were visited by the FBI. According to the FBI, the goal of the raids was to investigate alleged “material support for terrorism". These activists have done nothing wrong, yet face secretive Grand Jury trials, jail time and fines. Their freedom is at stake, along with everyone's freedom to speak our minds and to organize against war and occupation.

Come learn about the past and current history of FBI attacks on social movements in the US, and to understand your rights and what you can do to stand in solidarity with those being targeted! The event is FREE. Donations will be collected for the Minneapolis and Chicago's activists' legal defense fund.
