DESCRIPTION:Hello Santa Cruz friends and allies!\n\nThank you for joining the MARCH 
 AGAINST MONSANTO - SANTA CRUZ on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013, at The Town 
 Clock! \n\nFeatured Speakers: Ocean Robbins & Ethan Bearman!\n\nIn 
 conjunction with World Food Day, the Oct 12 MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO is a 
 global call to action aimed at informing the public and calling into 
 question long-term health and environmental effects of genetically modified 
 foods.\nWhether you like it or not, chances are Monsanto contaminated the 
 food you ate today with chemicals and unlabeled GMOs. Monsanto controls 
 much of the world's food supply at the expense of food democracy worldwide. 
 This event is dedicated to empowering citizens of the world to take action 
 in solidarity with millions around the globe fighting against Monsanto & 
 it's enablers like the FDA, USDA, EPA, GMA, BIO, and the processed food 
 companies that use Monsanto's products.\n\nTHE RALLY & MARCH\nWe'll start a 
 little after 1 with an energy-charged, family-friendly rally with some 
 speakers and community info tables! \nThe March will start right 
 after.\n\nYOU ALSO MUST READ ABOUT the TPP! \nThis Trans-Pacific 
 Partnership could override any GMO Labeling effort we have in this country.

 labeling \n- End patents on seed\n- Protect our food supply\n- Support 
 local farmers\n- Promote organic solutions & a sustainable agriculture\n- 
 Expose the cronyism between big business & government\n- Bring

 environment & contributed to Bee Colony Collapse Disorder\n\nWHAT COULD YOU 
 DO?\n~Vote with your dollar by buying organic and boycott Monsanto-owned

 efforts so that consumers can make those informed decisions easier. (Help
