We were out there with the demonstrations to shut down the courts early yesterday AM.

Food Not Bombs/NoDudes bike ride is cancelled today due to covid concerns.

All current NPFNB members that have been in close proximity to one another are getting tested to make sure it’s safe to continue functioning on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday.

We also want to assure everyone that we are being responsible when preparing meals for others and have been been getting tested regularly. Stay well and be safe everybody!
