The day is almost here…just a few more hours and it will be MAY 24th in Seattle!
Where will you be this Saturday? Join us at Westlake Park at 11 AM for the rally. We march at 2 PM!

We have a full line-up of great stuff from live music to local speakers. Meet the folks from CAGJ (Community Alliance for Global Justice) and Beacon Food Forest, Fair Trade Coalition, CISPES and more. There will also be demos from the folks at Seattle Tilth, including info on composting and recycling! We’ll be sharing some free starters for your own guerrilla gardening fun, seed bags for home gardens, and much more. Oh! And we also have fun stuff planned for the kids, including face-painters!

There have been some recent concerns about where the parent organization “March Against Monsanto” really stands on the issues of feeding the poor, ending food deserts, making our food supply safe for ALL people regardless of their economic background or ethnicity. There have been confirmed reports of requests for people to “point out anarchists” to police in Montreal and phone calls to organizers in other cities. Let us assure you that this is NOT the case here in Seattle! That’s just not how we roll!

This rally and march is for EVERYONE by EVERYONE. Come one! Come all!
While it is a family-friendly event, there is no exclusion policy of any kind.
Be sure to bring your camera. Bee the Media. Film the cops.
See you in the streets!

Just a reminder that we’ll be meeting at Black Coffee Coop (501 Pine St. at Summit on Capital Hill) again next Wednesday, May 21 from 3 – 7 PM to work on signs, posters, banners, seed bombs and more!

Bring along any supplies you might need, like poster board. We’ll have markers and paint pens and a lot of other fun stuff to help with the creativity, too!

See you there.

Here we are at the first work party for March Against Monsanto, Seattle! Linx has brought artistic materials, including fabric, shears, thread, stamps, ink, and pens (among other implements). I have brought seed packets, tons of sunflower seeds, and clay. We are beginning the process of making seed bags and seed bombs for giveaway at the rally, with the participation of some new volunteers!

From an anonymous source, we have also obtained some ready-made seed bombs. Some of these bombs are already starting to sprout. Perhaps we will do a test-run with these in the next couple of days?

If you want to make some seed bombs of your own, a recipe can be found at:

Another recipe can be found here (at one of our FAVORITE gardening sites):

If you would like to use paper rather than clay, try out this cool eco-friendly recipe:

So make some seed bombs, and do some guerrilla gardening! Make a beautiful impact on the world. Oh, and come to the next work party:
Next Wednesday, 21 May, 3 pm at Black Coffee Co-op!

Welcome!

CALL TO ACTION!

Greetings! We are busily working together toward the third March Against Monsanto rally, happening on May 24th at Westlake Park in Seattle. There will be live music, fun for the kids and goodies, along with info-sharing – as many different groups in Seattle join forces in the fight for GMO Labeling Laws and to support local farmers. We must put an end to multinational corporations that continue destroying the earth and ruining lives! Stay tuned for more information. Or visit our community page on Facebook to find out more:
