http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_24800.cfm
The Objective: To Continue bringing local awareness to the corporation Monsanto’s control and involvement with the toxins in our food and water supplies and the ties they have in the government. Also, participating in the Movement to Label the United State’s GMOs starting with the Statewide Demand in California.
We must continue acting locally and thinking globally to bring down this tyrant of the food industry. We are in worldwide solidarity with the Millions Against Monsanto (http://www.MillionsAgainstMonsanto.org) and several other groups, organizations, foundations, and individuals who feel that something must be done to stop the evil practices of the Monsanto Corporation.
“Corporations are Not People and Money Is not free speech”
The Goal: To unite local communities, as consumers, voters and organizers to continue the push to remove Monsanto and other Corrupt Corporations from our government. Along with other campaigns all over the globe to create a world governed for, of, and by the people, not the corporations.
One tactic is to strategize and take action utilizing the power of the Boycott to send a strong message we will not do business with Corrupt Corporations.
There is a LONG List of Monsanto Products to BOYCOTT . We have hosted quite a few FREE events under the Occupy Umbrella urging for monthly and biweekly protests; Workshops, teach-ins, film showings; Canvassing, flyering, training organizers, and recruiting more people to the peaceful fight.
Already hundreds of thousands of farmers and community supporters worldwide expose and actively campaign against Monsanto for the crimes it is committing against the health and biodiversity of our planet.
The Anti-Monsanto Project stands in Solidarity with the Millions Against Monsanto, the occupy movement and food consumers all over the world.

MILLIONS AGAINST MONSANTO:
Why are companies like Monsanto allowed to profit from their control of the food supply while the rest of us have to struggle for affordable, healthy food?
Companies like Monsanto have enormous economic and political power. Their campaign contributions determine the outcome of elections. Their lobbyists write our laws. In the words of an Official Statement of the Occupy Wall St. Movement:
• “They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system
through monopolization.”
• “They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices.”
• “They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.”
• “They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.”
• “They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.”
As workers, consumers and voters, we have very little influence. It’s time to turn this around!
As the Occupy Wall St. call to action put it, the task is “ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington. It’s time for Democracy Not Corporatocracy, we’re doomed without it.” We support Occupy Wall St. and the Occupy Together movement because: When we get money out of politics, we’ll get Monsanto out of agriculture!
• When corporations can’t buy politicians, stores won’t sell government-subsidized junk food.
• When health matters more than the bottom line, our food won’t be laced with Monsanto’s allergens, toxins and carcinogens.
• When sustainability trumps profits, we’ll replace polluting factory farms with
Carbon-sequestering, green organic farms.
• When justice is more important than stock prices, farm workers and family farmers will all make a good living.
