I just wanted to let you know about an important event this weekend.
The worldwide March Against Monsanto takes place this Saturday, May 24th.
Saturday, May 24, 2014
Time: 12:00 PM
Wayne Morse Free Speech plaza (8th and Oak St)
There are over 350 marches planned to take place at the exact same time around the world, including in every major US city.
Last year I took part in the march here in Eugene.
The most wonderful sight was when we marched across the Ferry Street Bridge. We marched along the East side of the bridge, looped around underneath, and then when we marched back along the West side of the bridge. Our line of Marchers covered BOTH sides of the bridge! Cars honked in support. It was an awesome sight!
Here is my 27 second video of the line of marchers on Ferry Street Bridge.

And here’s a cool map showing where all the marches will be this weekend.
I would also like to encourage parents to bring their children. Not only is it a great opportunity to share your passion for standing up for an important cause, but it is a lot of fun! It is like being in a parade! The children don’t need to understand the full ramifications of GMOs to participate. My son is planning to come with me. Come march with us!
