Update #2: We have reached our goal!
Thanks to each of your donations, Conflict Kitchen has successfully reached its goal of $4,000!
These funds will allow us to launch our Afghan iteration of Conflict Kitchen. There are still 4 more days to go, and we are hoping to reach a new goal of $5,000 by September 30, when the pledge drive will end.
Keep spreading the word to your friends and family. If you live in Pittsburgh, don't forget to drop by for a kubideh sandwich before we close Kubideh Kitchen! Soon, we will change to Bolani Pazi and will serve four different tasty bolani, a sort of savory Afghan turnover. Stay updated by visiting our blog at: www.ConflictKitchen.org.
Again, thank you for all your generosity,
Conflict Kitchen
Update #1: Another Way to Help
Dear supporters,
Thank you for your help and generosity with Conflict Kitchen's pledge drive. We currently have 43 backers and $987 raised, however we are only a quarter of the way towards our $4,000 goal. With only 11 days left, we urge you to spread the word to your friends about our drive, before it's too late!
Facebooking, Twittering, or whatever it may be, we hope that you can share our cause with your network and help ensure that our project will continue with its next stages. Below is a link to our Kickstarter campaign that you can post and share:

Again, we appreciate all your support and hope to continue to bring you more versions of Conflict Kitchen in the future.
Best,
Conflict Kitchen

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Conflict Kitchen is a project by artists Dawn Weleski, John Peña and Jon Rubin.
Dawn Weleski is an interdisciplinary artist who activates and broadcasts the stories of individuals and groups in experimental public performances, where conversation is her process and people are her medium.
Jon Rubin's projects include creating a game show for ideas, starting a restaurant that secretly runs via take-out from its double across the street, and broadcasting an office's telephone conversations through a talking piano.
John Peña grew up in Washington State, where he first began sending daily letters to the ocean.
this is a great project - has such potential to open people's minds through their stomachs!!! thank you so much and i'm happy to be a small part of backing you all. i only wish it were in a city close to me (i live in the san francisco bay area). maybe you'll expand someday - anyway, i am a vegan and was very pleased to see that you mention the vegan bolani as part of the menu. right on!!!!!!
I completed payment on my pledge. How do I claim my voucher & food wrapper?
That's so great. Congratulations! I'm sorry I can't get over there on the 2nd for your big party. I hope you have more events. I want to make a field trip over to Pittsburgh!
