A GLOBAL DAY Of Action Shut Down MONSANTO ! European movement

[improve]

  • Date: March 16 until March 17
  • Time: 7:00 AM
  • Location: Any and Every Monsanto facility in the world
  • Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

MONSANTO is one of the leading concerns in agricultural industry.
  • It's a leading producer of ROUND UP (glyphosate), which was proven to cause birth defects on some animals even in dilutions much lower than those used in agriculture.
  • Many of the seeds produced by the company are genetically modified to be RESISTANT TO CHEMICALS like Round Up. Eating products grown from them has been proven to have adverse effects on health.
  • The other controversy is TERMINATORS technology patented by one of the companies in Monsanto group. It allows to produce STERILE SEEDS which grow into plants that don't flower and grow seeds. It forces farmers to purchase new seeds each year, instead of growing their own and makes them totally DEPENDENT ON THE SUPPLIER. This caused many protests all over the World and it is a practice against natural rights!
  • Another controversy around Monsanto was introducing SYNTHETIC GROWTH HORMONE, known as "recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone" - hormone injected to cows to INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION. This hormone is present in milk and linked to many adverse effects like CANCER ACCELERATION.
  • The concern is responsible for pollution in different parts of the World, like dumping toxic waste in the UK (1965 - 1972), etc.
  • Moreover! Monsanto was also a producer of AGENT ORANGE - a herbicide and defoliant used by USA in Vietnam war. It was used to destroy crops and forests in many parts of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (1962-71) and caused devastating effects on people's health like cancers, terrible birth defects, stillbirths and miscarriages, etc. These chemicals are still present in the soil.
  • Monsanto employs children in cotton-seeds manufacture in India. Work includes carrying of poisonous pesticides. Those children get less than half dollar daily for their work.


Europe resists genetically modified foods

EU legislation of 2003 demanded strict rules on labeling, traceability and risk assessments of GM foods by all the biotech companies. The 2004 regulation laid down procedures on traceability and labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and all products produced using GMOs. The mandatory labeling legislation extends its requirement to all food and food ingredients produced from GMOs regardless of the detectable presence of DNA or protein within the final food product. (source - Wikipedia)

Let's help to shut the poisoner down and bring it to justice!


UNITE WITH WORLDWIDE PROTESTS against the crimes of this corporation with one objective

to educate Consumers, Farmers - and Monsanto... that we are not ignorant, and we will Not accept GMO Control of Food. Consumers need to know what they are eating, and the disaster Export Farming and Control of Seeds has caused in the 3rd World, disguised as philanthropy. Millions are dying. Indigenous lands are destroyed, poverty and hunger has increased. the fight in Europe is well underway, with resistance in Poland, Hungary, France and England support street movements in Africa, Asia and Latin America

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A REAL STAND!!!!!!!

- Current Protest Sites on line so far -


POLISH

MONSANTO jest jednym z wiodących producentow w rolnictwie.

  • Jest to wiodący producent preparatu ROUND-UP (glifosat), który została powodować moze wady wrodzone u niektórych zwierząt nawet w rozcieńczeniach dużo niższych niż te stosowane w rolnictwie.
  • Wiele z tych nasion produkowanych przez spółkę jest genetycznie zmodyfikowana, w celu uzyskania odpornosci na substancje chemiczne jak Round-up. Spozywanie roslin, ktore wyrosly z nich moze wywierac negatywny wplyw na zdrowie.
  • Kolejna kontrowersja jest technologia opatentowana przez jedną ze spółek w grupie Monsanto. Pozwala ona produkować sterylne nasiona, z ktorych wyrastaja rosliny nie kwitnace i nie wydajace nasion. ZMUSZA to rolników do zakupu nowych nasion co rok, oraz czyni ich całkowicie zależnymi od dostawcy. Spowodowało to wiele protestów na całym świecie i jest to praktyka calkowicie niezgodna z prawami natury!
  • Inna kontrowersja wokół Monsanto było wprowadzenie SYNTETYCZNEGO hormonu wzrostu, wstrzykiwanego krowom celu zwiększenia produkcji mleka. Hormon ten jest obecny w mleku i jest z nim zwiazane wiele negatywnych skutków zdrowotnych, np. rakotworczosc.
  • Monsanto jest odpowiedzialne za zanieczyszczenia w różnych częściach świata, jak na przyklad skladowanie toksycznych odpadów w Wielkiej Brytanii (1965-1972), itp.
  • Ponadto: Monsanto był też producentem "AGENT ORANGE" -herbicydu wykorzystywanego przez USA w wojnie w Wietnamie. Niszczono nim uprawy oraz lasy w wielu miejscach Wietnamu, Laosu i Kambodży (1962-71) i mial on destrukcyjny wpływ na zdrowie ludzi (nowotwory, wady wrodzone, poronienia, itp. Chemikalia te są nadal obecne w glebie.
  • Monsanto zatrudnia dzieci w fabrykach produkujacych bawelne na terenie Indii. Praca obejmuje m.in. noszenie trujących pestycydów. Dzieci te zarabiaja mniej niż poł dolara dziennie.


Europa sprzeciwia sie genetycznie zmodyfikowanej żywności:

Prawo UE ( 2003 r.) zawiera ścisłe przepisy dotyczące etykietowania, identyfikowania i oceny ryzyka genetycznie modyfikowanej zywnosci przez wszystkie firmy. W 2004 r. ustanowiono procedury dotyczące możliwości śledzenia i etykietowania organizmów zmodyfikowanych genetycznie (GMO) i wszystkich produktow wytwarzanych z wykorzystaniem GMO. Obowiązkowe ustawodawstwo rozszerza je o wymog etykietowania żywności i składnikow żywności wyprodukowanej z GMO bez względu na obecność DNA lub wykrywalnego białka w końcowym produkcie spożywczym. (Źródło-Wikipedia)


Na całym świecie organizacje lacza sie w protescie przeciwko tym zbrodniom. Nasz cel: Edukacja konsumentów, rolnikow i przedstawicieli Monsanto... Nie bedziemy ignorantami! Konsumenci muszą wiedzieć co jedza, miec swiadomosc klęsk ekologicznych i Kontroli Eksportu nasion w krajach III świata. Miliony umierają. Nastepuje degradacja srodowiska.

Polska, Wegry, Francja, Wlk Brytania a takze niektore kraje afrykanskie, azjatyckie oraz kraje Ameryki Lacinskiej juz lacza sie w sprzeciwie.

SE Portland Community Budget Forum - Wednesday, March 21, 2012

[improve]

Purpose

Join Laborers' Local 483 and sound off against knee-jerk budget cuts at the City of Portland that will close public restrooms in our Parks, close community centers, eliminate street maintenance, and send workers to the layoff line. This is the tenth year in a row of cuts to our maintenance bureau and the fourth year in a row of cuts to Parks and Recreation.

What is most important to you and your community? Stand up and speak out. Tell City Council not to throw in the towel on the services you depend on. It's time for hard work for community solutions- NOT CUTS.

Forum starts at 6:30pm, but come early to join the group and get a seat.


Background on event

Community Budget Forums - FY 2012-13

SE Occupy PDX Neighborhood Assembly 3/24/2012

[improve]

Purpose

We plan to meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays until further notice, with work groups scheduled in between as needed. The time is now to get our neighborhoods and the communities we live in involved as much as we can to promote discussion and change for the greater 99%. This is a chance to meet up with people from your area to decide together what we can do in our neighborhoods. Turn your concerns into actions and discuss future plans. We do NOT by any means condone violence, hate-speech, or abuse by our members, be it verbal or physical.


Occupy May Day (Together)

[improve]

  • Date: The First of May 2012

Purpose

Members of Occupy Portland, local organizations, and any individual who wishes to voice their grievances relating to greed and corruption to our national government.

Why?

Since the end of the nineteenth century, May 1st (or May Day) has become synonymous with International Worker’s Day or Labour Day in many countries. Historically it has been known as a day of political demonstrations around the world. Just after the start of spring, when the weather begins warming up, we encourage the many that would be reluctant to brave the cold weather and snowy months that DC bares through the winter to Occupy Together through the summer and early fall to petition grievances against a corrupt system of government.

Global, 99 Occupy the World
NO WORK - NO SCHOOL - NO SHOPPING - NO BANKING - NO TRADING
THE PEOPLE OF THE PLANET WILL TAKE TO THE STREETS

We are calling on all people of the world to start planning NOW for a Global Strike.

The goal is to shut down commerce worldwide and show the 1% we will not be taken for granted, we will not be silenced, WE WILL NOT MOVE until our grievances are redressed.

GENERAL STRIKE AND BOYCOTT CALLED!
  • FOR IM/MIGRANT RIGHTS
  • FOR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND LABOR RIGHTS
  • FOR PEACE WITH JUSTICE
  • FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES AND AN END TO THE POLICE STATE
  • FOR HOUSING, EDUCATION, AND HEALTH CARE AS HUMAN RIGHTS
  • FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUITY
Every continent, every country, every state, every city will stand up.

Labor and workers are under attack by the 1%.

Occupy stands Immigrants and with Labor both organized and not.

Unions and union rights are what made our working class strong.

Every benefit we have as working people has come from the struggles of organized labor and immigrants fighting for their rights. Now they are trying to destroy our bargaining rights, they want their greedy hands on our pensions. They don't have enough already? ENOUGH.

A DAY FOR MIGRANT RIGHTS, LABOR RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS.
STOP FORECLOSURES!!!

We demand good jobs and good pay for everyone on the planet. Citizen of the country they work in or not. Outsourcing will no longer be tolerated by the so called "job creators" for cheap labor. All human beings deserve a living wage.

Education, Housing and Healthcare are human rights NOT "entitlements."
