Meet the Robin Hood-style activists ‘shoplifting’ for food banks

“Activists are ‘shoplifting’ from supermarket shelves and dumping the proceeds straight into the stores’ food bank bins in a ‘redistributive action’ to protest the cost of living and the climate crisis.

“Xander Cloudsley, 29, a community food co-ordinator and member of This Is Rigged, the campaign group behind the actions, said: ‘In my job, I’ve seen the lived reality of the cost of living crisis […] while corporate giants like Tesco are boasting astonishing profits year in and year out. I’m taking action because this disparity is sickening and profoundly unfair.’

“The protest comes as food bank usage – already prevalent following austerity – has surged alongside spiralling inflation ...

“The top three supermarkets – Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda – have taken advantage of increased food costs and doubled their profits to £3.32bn in 2021, up 97% on 2019. Unite’s general secretary Sharon Graham has called this ‘greedflation’ – something supermarket bosses deny ...

“The group’s ‘Robin Hood’ supermarket action was inspired by British farmers who took milk off supermarket shelves in 2015 to protest the low prices they were getting paid for their produce, and by the French energy workers who send cheap electricity to schools, hospitals and working class communities.”

~Welcome~

I’ve spent the past two and a half years working on this very very long essay about the history of the Pacific Northwest, and trying to understand various models for redress and rebalance (which will never truly be obtained, but can still be worked for) since this area was invaded by settlers 200 years ago.

It’s not by any means an *easy conversation* to have with  other white people, but it is wholly necessary and long overdue.

So if you’re a fellow colonial settler descendant ready to get real, I hope I made a resource that helps you in that journey. You can get it for free under the “The Zine” page as a pdf, or if you’re glued to your e-reader like I am, it’s a $.99 download on Kindle.

If you want to print your own, you may download and print the zine-ready doc and DIY away. 

If you want a physical copy, I request that you donate to your local tribe, Black-led Community Center, or one of the following: Salish School of Spokane/ Real Rent Duwamish/ Naya Action Fund. Then, please send a screenshot or forward a receipt to audrey_connor@icloud.com, along with your mailing info. If you are a Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color, this is wholly optional, and I am happy to send you a complementary copy if you simply tell me where. 

Happy reading + redistributing,

Audrey

My most focused project of the last two years is finally world-ready. It aims to briefly and convincingly catalyze or affirm reparations-related work by white settler and settler descendants in the Pacific  Northwest, because none of us are free until we all are. 

So hop on over, shall we?

Available in PDF, ebook, and print format, with any proceeds redirected towards the Salish School of Spokane. :)

The modern war on human fears, whether directed against natural or artificial disasters, seems to result in the social redistribution of fears, rather than their quantitative reduction. Zygmunt Bauman
