March Against Monsanto

March Against Monsanto: May 23. Everywhere.

MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO

On Saturday May 23, millions of people around the globe will once again take to the streets to March Against Monsanto.

We’ve got plenty to talk about this year. Last month the World Health Organization (WHO) declared glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, a probable human carcinogen. 

That news didn’t stop Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) from reintroducing a bill that if passed, will wipe out states’ rights to pass mandatory labeling laws.  H.R.1599, written by the biotech and junk food industries, is officially called the “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act.” But we call it the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act. Because the bill’s sole purpose is to keep consumers in the dark about the genetically modified organisms in their food.

And then there’s Hillary Clinton, who recently threw her hat into the ring for President. Clinton, who supports Monsanto and GMO agriculture, has yet to publicly state whether or not she would support Pompeo’s DARK Act, or if she would take the side of the more than 90 percent of Americans who believe we should pass mandatory GMO labeling laws. 

These are just a few of the issues people will be talking about on May 23, when they come together, in cities around the world, to March Against Monsanto. Will you be at one of those marches? Are you organizing a march in your city? Need more information? Need leaflets? Or bumper stickers? 

We can help. We’ve put together packets designed especially for May 23, which focus on this simple, but powerful, message: Monsanto Makes Us Sick. And we’re offering them free of charge to anyone organizing or participating in a March Against Monsanto event.
