Food Not Bombs arrests: Inside Kansas City police crackdown on KC volunteer group

What began as a routine Sunday afternoon of community outreach in Kansas City’s historic Northeast neighborhood ended in handcuffs and a lingering legal battle for Food Not Bombs volunteers Michael McConnell and Joshua Pironti. For about 13 years, Food Not Bombs, a volunteer-led food advocacy group, had gathered in a parking lot of a strip mall near Independence and Monroe avenues to distribute free vegan meals, a weekly tradition aimed at helping those in need.
