DESCRIPTION:HOE DOWN: Occupy Our Food Supply \nGLOBAL DAY OF GARDENING \n12 NOON on 
 MONDAY FEBRUARY 27th @ the CLOCKTOWER\n\nBring Your Overalls And Hoe, We're 
 Doin' Some Gardening!\n\n+Corporate control of our food systems has 
 increasingly harmed people, our ecosystems and our climate\n+We can control 
 our food supply by creating localized food systems that utilize fair, 
 ecological principles\n+United, our food movements can reach a scale 
 required to challenge the corporate food regime that has prioritized profit 
 over health and sustainability\n+To create healthy local food systems 
 globally, we must both create the alternatives we are calling for and 
 resist the corporate and political forces creating toxic, GMO, unhealthy 
 food\n+Local organic food systems hold more hope for meeting Santa Cruz's 
 food needs than corporate food regimes profiting from speculation and land 
 grabs for exports \nWe stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and 
 communities around the world that are struggling against hunger, 
 exploitation, and unfair labor practices that benefit only 
 corporations\n+We all have to eat, and we want to eat local organic food. 
 \n\nOccupy Our Food Supply is seeking support. We're a coalition of 
 farmers, communities and activist who are reclaiming our food system from 
 corporate domination by re-purposing space in communities.\nUnited, we can 
 challenge the corporate food regime that prioritizes profit over health and 
 sustainability. Local, sustainable and organic food systems hold more hope 
 for meeting our food needs. \nOn February 27th, Noon at the Santa Cruz 
 Clocktower, we are taking a stand for food sovereignty. We believe small 
 farmers and local communities must be able to sustain themselves. We also 
 believe food produced through ecologically sustainable methods is a human 
 right. \nRight now, we are planning actions and building a network that 
 will pressure the dominant power structures by providing a sustainable 
 alternative. \nWhen the last parcel of arable land in an urban community is 
 about to be developed, it takes people power to defend it. When a small 
 farmer is bing sued by Monsanto for crosspollination, it takes people power 
 to defend them. \nWe are those people. We are seeking allies.\n
