March Against Monsanto – Seattle (2015)
May 23, 2015 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
It’s time for another BIG rally & march!
MAY 23rd at Westlake Park. @[null:#MAM]
Come join thousands of folks from the greater Seattle region, all over Cascadia, as we say NO to the terrible biotech/bigAgra models presented by Monsanto. There is a better way!
We’ll be sharing educational info about the dangers their products create. How these toxins affect our soil & waterways, can pose a threat to bees & other pollinators, & affect the health of our children. We’ll discuss the basic agricultural economics that just don’t make sense!
