Protesters aim to strike back at Chik-Fil-A madness by donating to food banks

The group Feeding Equality is less than 24 hours old, but it's already gaining momentum and pledges to help feed the needy from all over the United States and from countries such as Japan, the Netherlands, Canada and France.

The group's mission?

Opponents of marriage equality bought THEMSELVES chicken sandwiches and waffle fries in their "defense" of "traditional marriage". As an act of solidarity for the support of civil liberties and equality, instead of feeding hate, let's feed those in need. Join us on Saturday, August 25th by donating to your local food banks.

Founder Ed Hanratty says that he started the Facebook event Thursday night, not knowing what would come of it. He said on the group's Facebook page, "What began as a 'hey what if?' on my couch last night has grown into an organic show of humanity that's reached around the globe."

I think it's a wonderful idea. I plan to donate to my food bank and hope others will as well.
