If you think that Monsanto is going to fall easily, think again. Monsanto is the single most corrupt corporate criminal operating in the U.S. and across the globe and the problem is they’ve been that way for a long time. They know how to fight back, buying off our elected officials and fabricating false stories in the mainstream media.
Case in point, last week in England, the UK Daily Mail revealed a secret plot between biotech industry lobbyists and government officials to promote GMOs in the U.K. to win over a skeptical public as well as working to “relax regulations” on GMO crops.
Reams of secret emails and official documents were obtained by public watchdog group GeneWatch reveal a nasty plan to come up with a "blacklist" of critics who had written “negative towards biotech in the past”.
These details are outrageous and this is exactly how Monsanto has operated for the past several decades and we need your help to make it stop!
We're hitting the streets this Friday in at least 8 cities across the country to tell Wall Street and Fidelity Investments that it's time to divest from Monsanto's toxic legacy!
Join us to turn up the heat on Monsanto, we need to put an end to their culture of corruption and stop their toxic profits from poisoning the planet!

How You Can Boycott Monsanto for Life and Help Defund Their Toxic Agenda:
We understand that not everyone is invested in mutual funds or has a retirement fund, but we all have friends or family who do. And if you want to change our food supply, it’s important to remember – Friends don’t let friends invest in Monsanto!
Join Food Democracy Now!’s Facebook page and the Divest Monsanto Now! Facebook page to keep up on the divestment campaign!
If your company has a 401K plan or pension fund, call your advisor and tell them you want to only invest in funds without Monsanto, chemical or junk food companies.
Remember, democracy is like a muscle, either you use it or you lose it!
Thanks for participating in food democracy,
Dave, Lisa and the Food Democracy Now! team
