DESCRIPTION:HEY SANTA CRUZ - LET'S MARCH!\nWill you March with us July 4th to label 
 GMOs?\n\nWe are joining with a big country-wide march called Moms Across 
 America March (MAAM) to Label GMOs. (You don't have to be a mom to join in 
 on the fun, and pet moms and pets are welcome too!) See all events & more 
 info here: http://www.momsacrossamerica.com/events_all\nWe're having a 
 local MAAM in the APTOS JULY 4th PARADE. We would love for people of all 
 ages to join us! Kids can ride tricycles and we'll be making noise makers 
 for the kids.\n\nIF YOU CAN COMMIT TO MARCHING OR DONATING,\nthen please 
 email (gmofreesc@gmail.com) if possible.\nHERE'S THE DETAILS:\nMEETING 
 TIME: We meet on July 4th between 9 and 9:30 am\nCheck in for the parade is 
 in the parking lot of the Wells Fargo Bank on Soquel Ave. in Aptos. That is 
 where the “line-up” for the parade begins. The line-up then extends 
 back along Mesa Drive all the way to Vienna Drive. Vienna Drive is located 
 off of Soquel Ave..The parade officials are asking participants to enter 
 from Vienna Drive and stage on Mesa Drive.(see map) \n\nWHY SUCH A LONG 
 "LINE-UP"? Because, although this is the WORLD’S SHORTEST PARADE -- there 
 are LOTS of people, groups, etc. that join it. The order we line up in to 
 march in the parade is determined by first-come-first-serve. So we (Tarah 
 and I) will probably be there closer to 9am (or maybe earlier). Whatever 
 time you get there, you should be able to find us in the line-up. We will 
 have a Moms Across America March banner and signs, and some of us will be 
 wearing white and red t-shirts that were made for the march.\n\nPARKING: 
 The Parade Line-Up Map shows some “no-parking” areas. Our understanding 
 is that we can park wherever there aren’t “no parking” signs - in the 
 neighborhoods, etc. It would be a good idea to carpool! \n\nWHY DO WE 
 MARCH?\nOver 2 million people from around the world (Santa Cruz included) 
 came out to March Against Monsanto last Saturday - and the response was 
 amazing! \n\nMarches like this are bringing awareness to the public, many 
 of whom had no idea of what a GMO is. After Saturday's global march, search 
 engines like Google were inundated with users "googling" "GMO" and "what is 
 a GMO?" \n\nAnd one day after the march, the New York Times ran an article 
 titled: \n“Seeking Food Ingredients That Aren’t Gene-Altered” which 
 said that food companies big and small are struggling to replace 
 genetically modified ingredients with conventional ones - in response to 
 consumer demand.\n\nWE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! \nJust as with the March 
 Against Monsanto, the July 4th MAAM march will be an opportunity for so 
 many people from the Santa Cruz area to learn about GMOs all at once! And 
 remember...MONSANTO’S GREATEST ENEMY IS AN INFORMED PUBLIC! \n\nMarch
