SUPPORT THE OCA & OCF You Ain’t Seen Nuthin’ Yet, Mr. Grant “If you doubt our power, see how it terrifies those at the top, and remember that they fight it best by convincing us it doesn’t exist.” – Rebecca Solnit Congratulations. You’re making Monsanto’s CEO, Hugh Grant, nervous. Four hundred protests planned in 49 countries, as the worldwide March against Monsanto date draws near. GMO labeling laws advancing through the legislatures in Vermont, Maine, Connecticut. Passage of I-522, a citizens’ initiative to label GMOs in Washington State, looking more and more certain. Multiple petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures calling on Congress to repeal the Monsanto Protection Act and reject any proposed rider or amendment to the Farm Bill that would preempt state GMO labeling laws. What’s a biotech CEO to do? Talk to a reporter at Bloomberg. Arrogantly dismiss the protesters as “elitists” who just want the poor to go hungry. Try to convince us that our power doesn’t exist. But it does exist. Because despite Monsanto’s political and financial clout, despite its attempt to monopolize the world’s seeds, to relentlessly drench our food and soil in poison, we are many. And together, we are powerful. Please consider a donation today so we can step up our efforts to educate, mobilize, and bring down Monsanto. Thank you! Donate to the Organic Consumers Fund (non-tax-deductible, but necessary for our legislative efforts in Washington, Vermont and other states)
