The Organic Consumers Association is participating in National Occupation of Washington, DC, (NOW-DC) events that kicked off Friday, March 30 with Occupy EPA. Please watch the videos of speeches at the demonstration by OCA Political Director Alexis Baden-Mayer and Dr. Helen Caldicott, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985. Dr. Caldicott warns about the clear and present dangers of nuclear power (including fallout from the Fukushima disaster) and nuclear weapons (most notably the threat that Israel will attack Iran).
On Monday, Alexis spoke at the Center for Study of Responsive Law’s "Control the Corporation" conference. Please read her speech and watch the 2010 Bioneers speech by Mari Margil, Associate Director of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), that inspired it.
On Friday, April 13, 2012, from 2-4pm, Alexis will be giving a presentation on OCA’s upcoming BioDemocracy project at the NOW-DC Social Forum.
