Unveiling the City of Santa Cruz LOCAL CONTROL, PESTICIDE AND CHEMICAL TRESPASS ORDINANCE -
Bring a friend – all new people welcome!
December 15th at 7:00 – Don’t miss the beginning!
We’ll do a brief review of how we got to this point, take a look at the anatomy of the ordinance and answer questions, watch Jazz-elle’s amazing nine-minute DVD about the backbone of the Ordinance (which is on our Website and Utube),
and then break out into working groups to plan our actions on the tasks we need to accomplish.
We’ll also plan the January 12th public meeting, at which we’ll rally Santa Cruz residents to support the ordinance and attend the February SC City Council meeting where we’ll present it.
Check out our new website: PeopleAgainstChemicalTrespass.org.
We have the Ordinance, the Website, the Petitions, Tabling spots, and good materials.
Now we need a liberal application of elbow grease for 8 weeks!
Local control only works if people act!
We can pass this Ordinance if we work together!

The answer is short and sweet: California produces a large percentage of produce that we buy in our local supermarkets. Aerial spraying of this produce does not make a distinction between organic and non-organic crops. So even the produce that is labeled organic cannot be guaranteed safe from chemical pesticides. We need to support Santa Cruz and other communities like it in order to keep our national food supply safe from toxins.
In the meantime, where is the FDA in all of this? And why doesn't this story make it to national television--like Dateline or 20/20?
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
