From Moms Across America
Today, we celebrate and acknowledge all of the advocates, lawyers, nonprofit staff, groups, and citizens who are creating a future where Monsanto et al. are obsolete
When people told us we didn’t have a chance against Monsanto and the agriculture industry, we didn’t listen. We mothers knew that protecting our children and families surpassed any fear, desire for comfort, or success. We had to try. We had to make an effort. Not standing up for our families meant foregoing our integrity. That was not an option.
We were not the only ones that persisted. Organizations like the Center for Food Safety, Beyond Pesticides, Organic Consumers Association, and many others have been rallying, suing, and petitioning to protect the food supply for far longer. So today, we celebrate and acknowledge all of the advocates, lawyers, nonprofit staff, groups, and citizens who are creating a future where Monsanto et al. are obsolete, where healthy, non-toxic, whole foods are plentiful and affordable for all. We still have a long way to go, but today, we celebrate three big wins over the past three weeks.
