DESCRIPTION:Launching date of Non-GMO Tortilla Campaign \n\nDear Allies, Supporters and 
 Friends,\n\nBiosafety Alliance ask Non-GMO advocate individuals and 
 organizations to support the Latino community by participating and 
 attending the “Non-GMO Corn Day Celebration” on September 29th at 24th 
 Street at Mission BART station  in San Francisco from 11:00 AM -3:00 
 PM.\n\nNon-GMO Corn Day Celebration is to bring awareness about the 
 importance to protect native corn from biotech genetic contamination.  We 
 are in solidarity with the grassroots movement in Mexico:  to protect 
 Mexico as the CENTER OF ORIGIN of native corn therefor not allowing 
 companies like Monsanto to plant GMO corn in Mexico because it will 
 inevitably contaminate native corn through cross pollination.\n\nCorn has 
 been planted by the indigenous people through the Americas for 10,000 
 years.  Corn is their staple food, good for the body and spirit. It is also 
 an intricate part of their cultural and Identity. Corn is a gift to 
 humanity not a patent for profit.  We must keep our seeds pure and 
 untainted for future generations.\n\nThe event will also be the beginning 
 of a Latino campaign demanding the following:\n\n·Demand to Latin 
 Politicians to advocate for Non-GMO corn to be available in food markets in 
 communities of color.\n\n·Demand GMO Foods, in particular GMO Tortillas, 
 to be labeled.\n\n·Demand democracy in our food system, we have the right 
 to know what is in the food we buy and feed our families.\n\nWe intend to 
 gather during next 6 months 1000 000 signatures in support of GMO Tortilla 
 labeling in California that we will bring to Sacramento in a massive 
 mobilization, we need your help! \n\nCome celebrate the food movement as we 
 enjoy Non-GMO food including organic purple tortillas, music, art, 
 speakers, and ceremony. There will be music, poetry and information. This 
 is a family event and everyone is welcomed. The event will also take place 
 in Los Angeles, Stockton, East Palo Alto and San Luis Obispo.  \n\nFacebook 
 event in San Francisco: Join us!  \n\nIf you would like to sponsor or be 
 part of the logistics for the San Francisco event please contact us!\n\n
