March Against Monsanto [View all]

This is a world wide event May 24,2014. Here is a link letting you know a location near you.

http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/p/blog-page_5.html

Last year it was covered by Al Jazeera America but not the major U.S. media. Millions & millions attended these marches world wide. I was told a local station did a 2 minute segment. Once.

I am letting people know that this is Something you can Do, participate in. Make a sign, take a friend. I'm doing a picnic lunch with daughter & am trying to get her friends involved. Make a party.

I am also putting up flyers; Monsanto wants to keep the public in dark regarding the health hazards. I say no.

In K.C.MO Jill Valentine is the organizer & she has a facebook page. Just type in March Against Monsanto K.C. & it should display.
It would be cool to meet some DUer's in the area. I'm traveling from Excelsior Springs MO- about a 35 minute drive. It was fun last year.
