March Against Monsanto Monterey

We will not stand for cronyism. We will not stand for poison. Taking to the streets to show the world and Monsanto that we won't take these injustices quietly. Join us & make a difference.

Why Do We March?

*Research studies have shown that Monsanto's genetically modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.
*In the United States, the FDA, the agency tasked with ensuring food safety for the population, is steered by ex-Monsanto executives, and we feel that's a questionable conflict of interests and explains the lack of government led research on the long-term effects of GM products. Recently, the U.S. Congress and President collectively passed the nicknamed "Monsanto Protection Act" that, among other things, bans courts from halting the sale of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds even if they are determined to be harmful to human health.
*For to long, Monsanto has been the benefactor of corporate subsidies and political favoritism. Organic and small farmers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world's food supply, including exclusive patenting rights over seeds and genetic makeup.
