March Against Monsanto - Running The Country

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of Sitka’s first March Against Monsanto. The second global March Against Monsanto is scheduled for this weekend. Sitka’s event will be more of a potluck than march. (I didn’t want to march in our October rain!) We will meet at Centennial Hall, eat, and have a short program on Friday, October 11th at 6:30 pm.

As you may know, I’ve been in Utah since mid July caring for my aging parents. That’s means I haven’t had time to prepare for Friday’s potluck the way I would have liked. However, we will still enjoy the evening together, sharing Monsanto/GMO free foods and having a brief program. I have recorded a short speech (Yes, it really is short this time!) that Kris will play in my absence in which I talk about some of the latest Monsanto news and I introduce my new book, We’re Monsanto, Feeding the World, Lie After Lie. In addition, we will hear a brief message Dr. Vandana Shiva prepared specifically for the World Food Day. Dr. Shiva will tell us who really provides food security. (Hint: It’s definitely not Monsanto and industrial agriculture.)

Our champion cross-country runner, David, and his non-champion father will commence our transcontinental run in January. Kris and David will share a few words regarding our run.

The potluck will feature a potato/salad bar and anything else you contribute. Remember, this meal will be GMO free, which means virtually all processed foods are out. If it’s not organic and it has derivatives of corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, or beet sugar, it is likely genetically modified and contaminated with Roundup.

If you spoke, sang, danced, or otherwise shared your talents at the first March Against Monsanto, please come to Friday’s potluck and Kris will happily give you a free paperback copy of We’re Monsanto. If you want to buy a copy, Kris will give you a $5 discount if you commit to review it on Amazon. The Kindle version of We’re Monsanto is free on Amazon from Oct 8-12.

Call Kris if you’d like to help out. 752-0447. Thanks, everyone!

“Compelling! We’re Monsanto exposes Monsanto’s true colors. A must-read for anybody who thinks Monsanto is actually saving the world. Bravo!”

We’re Monsanto tells the truth about 50 of Monsanto’s favorite lies.

Monsanto says:
* Biotechnology/GMOs are needed to feed a hungry world.
* Monsanto improves the environment.
* GMO cotton improves Indian farmers’ lives.
* Monsanto promotes honeybee health.
* The world has largely embraced GMOs.
* Agent Orange does not cause serious health effects.

Lies! Lies! Lies!

We’re Monsanto celebrates the first March Against Monsanto with march photos from around the world.

“Activists who are trying to expose Monsanto all know the corporation has done a lot of evil, wicked, despicable stuff. We all know Monsanto’s pattern of lies has repeated every time the harms of one of Monsanto’s products like DDT, PCB’s, Agent Orange, RoundUp, and GMO’s begin to be exposed. We’ve witnessed it again and again over the course of decades. Hundreds of sources have reported and controverted Monsanto’s lies. This book documents it all in a concise, referenced format that activists can readily access in their efforts to educate community groups and the general public about the evil that is Monsanto. I consider this book the March Against Monsanto Bible. Anyone who is interested in talking with family members, co-workers, neighbors or fellow students about the deathly harm of Monsanto products to people, pets, and the environment will find this book very useful. It will be invaluable for me and the hundreds of thousands of other activists who want to stop Monsanto before Monsanto stops Mankind. Thank you for this essential reference. I have ordered the paperback version to carry with me at marches and add to my community outreach tables at Monsanto sponsored community events where they seek to whitewash the crimes they are committing against humanity.”
— Catherine Myers, Activist, USA
