Occupy Monsanto

http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/about/#.T_ZeG8cAPKY.facebook

As we watched the Occupy Wall Street movement snowball very quickly into something that was so very massive, persistent, and powerful, we knew that it was important for this movement to offshoot in many directions and in many locations. Then, having a background in natural health and sustainability, I soon saw the potential of Monsanto and other agribiz and CAFO companies as perfect candidates for Occupation. Next came the Facebook page which soon merged with another page with the same focus and not much later we began to rapidly expand as the idea spread wildly and with great enthusiasm. Soon we began to see articles in a lot of the non-mainstream articles about the importance of taking back our food system from these parasitic corporate behemoths who have been poisoning both us and our environment. Then the demonstrations began. Who knows what will come next? All we need to do is keep those gears in our head turning and see what new ideas we can come up with. There are already grassroots movements as well as quite organized ones popping up with community gardens/farms in every major U.S. city (ours is based in Tulsa). Don’t wait for us to tell you what to do, make up your own ideas and share them and refine them with others and take action! Educate, Demonstrate, Boycott, Resist, Grow, and Multiply!
