We are at a showdown.

We live in the Sixth Great Extinction of all life on Earth.  Insecticides threaten the global food supply.  GMOs choke out organic agriculture.  Our story is the Star Wars of the environmental struggle.

Monsanto is our villain, the instrument of death that breeds GMOs and soaks seeds in neonicotinoid insecticides.  Bayer, Syngenta and the United States government are Monsanto’s nefarious cohorts.

We will march from Ferguson to the global headquarters of Monsanto.

We will unleash that part of ourselves that we've held quietly in reserve, that collection of courage. Anybody hear me? 

Let's be too outlandish to be called mere "protesters."

Our nonviolent direct action will be so dramatic that people will shout out, “How will the bees get back to their hive?” and “How will we survive?”

What We Need

$6,000 for training, rehearsal and action gear

$4,000 for travel to Saint Louis in a veggie-powered bus

$2,500 for honoraria for ten activists ($250 per person)

$7,500 for our legal defense fund

Here are the stickers we will send you if you donate and share your address with us.
