[GPSCC-chat] Millions Against Monsanto Truth-in-Labeling Campaign

[Tian Harter]

Hello Fellow Greens,

In my email I found the following message from the Organic Consumers 
Association (OCA). It talks about a local event I would love to go to, 
but it conflicts with this month's bike party, so I'm not going.
It's spot on with our platform, so I'm hoping someone else can be there!

As part of OCA's Millions Against Monsanto Truth-in-Labeling Campaign we 
are encouraging activists in our network to plan their own campaign 
events with others in their area. This email is to inform you that there 
is an upcoming event near you, organized by grassroots organizers who 
care about the GE-labeling issue as much as you do.

You may have heard that California is poised to be the first state with 
mandatory GMO labeling laws through the 2012 CA Ballot Initiative 
process.  Polls show that we have the support to get this initiative on 
the ballot and voted in - over 70% of those polled supported mandatory 
labeling - but Monsanto and their minions have billions of dollars 
invested in GMOs and millions of dollars they are willing to spend to 
defeat this initiative.

These meetings are for activists to come together to learn about the 
initiative, how we suggest being activists in your community and 
organizing into a new cohesive group.   Please come ready to "roll your 
sleeves up" and get to work on what we are sure will be a historic 
ballot measure.

Friday, August, 19 - Sunnyvale
6pm
The Full Circle Farm, m1055 Dunford Way Sunnyvale, CA 94087
