DESCRIPTION:"No GMO Salmon" on the Street Action!\n\nCome join us out on the streets in 
 this Global day of action!\nIntersection of Capitola Rd & 41st Ave —— 
 From 12 to 2ish\n\nBring a sign, or use one of our extras\n(let us know -by 
 email- if you'll be using one of ours so we can be sure we have enough 
 supplies)\ngmofreesc@gmail.com\n\n\n________________________\nOver the 
 holidays, the FDA notified us that they are ready to release genetically 
 engineered salmon into our food supply. We are\nnow in the 60 day comment 
 period before final approval. The FDA would like nothing more than to push 
 this approval under a rug to\navoid any public attention about their 
 decision. The mainstream media has neglected to inform the public about 
 this dangerous new\ndevelopment which leaves an awareness campaign up to 
 our organizations.\nFDA says escape is unlikely and that the fish pose 
 “no impact” to the environment. But each year millions of farmed salmon 
 escape, outcompeting wild populations for resources and straining 
 ecosystems. Any approval of GE salmon would represent a serious threat to 
 the survival of native salmon populations, many of which have already 
 suffered severe declines related to salmon farms and other man-made 
 impacts. Additionally, the human health impacts of eating GE fish, which 
 would be the first-ever GE food animal, are entirely unknown.\n\nWhat are 
 we going to do about it?\n\nGlobal Day of Action - Protest GE Salmon on 
 Saturday, February 9th. Activists all over the country are being called on 
 to create a show of unity against GE Salmon by holding public awareness 
 events such as rallies, protests, flash mobs, radio shows or any other type 
 of awareness events.\n\nGlobal Days of Action is hosting these events and 
 offers a tool kit of options for activists to use. If you are in the our 
 area, please join us at this rally in Santa Cruz.. we would love for you to 
 take part in it! Please RSVP here or gmofreesc@gmail.com\n
