Samantha is 6 months pregnant and on May 25, 2013 we were celebrating my birthday & a dear friend's birthday, yet few were surprised we went to the March Against Monsanto with so much going on. There was no way we could skip gathering with our community in support of food freedoms here and around the world!!!
We strongly believe that the planet can heal and provide plenty of food and that Monsanto poses a greater risk to our food supply and the health of our global population than any other single or corporate threat.
It was heartening to know that there were 3,000+ permaculture supporting Austinites gathering in the woods that wanted to be there, as well as, large numbers involved in the farmers markets that have conflicting hours. Although over 4,200 RSVP'd to be at the Austin gathering, around a thousand showed up at 9:30 on a Saturday morning in a downpour that began the day before. I will continue to march for food rights and farm and ranch freedoms as long as the needs exist.
