Join the march against GM
More than 250 marches have been organised around the world to protest against genetically modified (GMO) crops.
The global day of action on May 25th, which is called March Against Monsanto, is focusing on the multinational biotech corporation, citing ongoing and long held concerns over food safety, political favouritism and environmental impacts. Activists are calling for a global event that will show politicians, regulators and the biotech companies that pubic dissent when it comes to GM food is as strong as ever.
Wherever you live, you can find an event near you at this link. In the UK there are events planned for:
• London
• Bristol
• Glasgow
• Isle of Man
It’s important to remember that while Monsanto is the focus of much controversy and outrage, and rightly so, it is not the only company involved in patenting life, showing disregard for public safety and environmental sustainability, influencing government officials and regulators, skewing the scientific debate and generally steering us onto a path towards genetically modified everything.
Monsanto and Syngenta are the major GM companies, controlling much of our food supply. But there is also BASF, Dow AgroSciences, Bayer CropScience and DuPont Pioneer amongst others.
So while you are on the march remember that to say no to GM you need to say no to them all!
