BREAKING NEWS!!!

Announcing the debut of our first movie "Communities Rising, A Story of Courage, Creativity, and Contribution!

All across America, everyday citizens are taking action to protect their families from GMOs and toxins.

I could not have been more grateful for our community than I was on Wednesday, 6月 7, 2017 at the California EPA Office of Environmental Health Hazzard Assesment hearing for the proposed safe level of glyphosate. At least 100 people attended, 40 of whom spoke from our side against the 5 from Monsanto's side, with clear facts, valid questions, passion, and commitment. Lawyers, scientists, a doctor, many mothers, grandmothers, and plaintiffs of the Monsanto lawsuit for non-Hodgkin Lymphoma pointed out the lack of thorough assessment and faults with the proposed 1100 micrograms per kilogram per day for a 70kg  (154 pounds) adults. Their statements were moving, accurate, and could transform the food supply and health in America.

California Guild & Moms Across America URGENT Call to ACTION!!!

CA EPA is holding a public hearing to determine amount of "safe" GLYPHOSATE exposures on CA PROP 65 Toxics List  Wednesday, 6月 7, 2017

Proposed level is 1100 micrograms No Significant Risk Level (NSRL)  to glyphosate ( an ingredient in RoundUp), on the State’s Prop 65 carcinogen list.  Studies show 1100 micrograms daily to be far too high an exposure level. In comparison chemical 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p -dioxin (TCDD), also on the Prop 65 list has a NSRL Of .000005 micrograms per day. Because glyphosate has been shown to bioaccumulate, and has been shown in the parts per trillion, to increase the growth of breast cancer cells, the reality is that there is no safe level.

Can you attend the hearing to support and/or speak on behalf of your family and the public?

12:30 seating, 1:00- 5:00pm hearing

Investing in a company that sells harmful products like the toxic herbicide Roundup is counter to CalPERS' mission.

By 禅ハニーカット / AlterNet

5月 17, 2017

I was recently informed by a former California public health employee, that CalPERS, the state's pension and health care fund, the largest in the nation, has invested $136 million in Monsanto.  

As a California activist committed to healthy communities, I see this investment as a huge conflict of interest. For its health plan subscribers, the CalPERS mission to “advance the financial and health security” of the participants does not align with the detrimental effects of the toxic herbicide Roundup, Monsanto’s number-one product. 

The day after finding out about this ill-advised investment, I sent a letter to CalPERS urging it to divest from Monsanto. They have not responded.

Concerned Californians should be outraged by this investment by CalPERS in Monsanto and the harm that inevitably impacts the very retirees CalPERS is responsible to protect.

Moms Across America has many low-income supporters who have stated that it seems too costly to go organic. But more and more, we are also hearing from underprivileged area moms who are making the effort and making it work within their budget.

In fact, the first store in America to label food GMO was in Detroit, in the past one of the lowest income, most crime-ridden areas in the country. They have had other concerns, like violence, drugs, death and gangs that could trump food concerns. Recently, however, 20,000 volunteers a weekend are “greening” Detroit with over 1,200 organic urban farms and community solidarity is making a comeback! Americans see that genetically engineered and pesticide sprayed food contributes to mental illness, acts of violence, depression, poor school and job performance, etc. Doctors report that 90% of the children in low-income areas have diabetes and/or obesity. Allergies, autism and autoimmune disease is skyrocketing. It really is true that when moms say, "health comes first." Without health, we cannot function properly to do or enjoy other things in life like our career, schoolwork, family, and relationships.

アメリカの子供と食品サンプルでの毒素テスト結果の妨害

グルテンフリー、ビーガン、ベジタリアン、オーガニック消費者への驚くべき影響

即時リリースの場合：

5月 5, 2017 Mission Viejo, CA- アメリカ中のママ releases their report on their recent findings of toxins in 36 American children, tested at Great Plains Lab, along with results from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA). The results are disturbing and have an important message for Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian American consumers and food manufacturers.

 「すべての子供の100％が深刻な毒素について陽性でした。テストされた子供の79％はADHDまたは自閉症の症状がありましたが、21％はそうではありませんでした。 50％以上が、平均よりも高い3 Xの陽性レベをテストしました。オーガニックを食べた子供たちは、食べなかった子供たちよりも毒素のレベルが低いと予想しました。これは、大多数の子供には当てはまりません。 CFIAグリホサートのデータがリリースされたとき、私たちはその理由を理解し、消費者と食品メーカーがこれらの重要な調査結果に注目することを望んでいます。

科学者がグリホサートが他の環境毒素の有害な影響を増加させ、テストされた他の166化学物質の存在をさらに有害にすると報告するため、ハニーカットは主にグリホサートに焦点を合わせました。

4月 22 is Earth Day, a day in which we pay tribute to the planet we inhabit. But what are we doing to it? We hear more and more about how our climate is in danger. We hear about all of these international groups calling for a massive reduction in fossil fuels. We hear less about the other causes of the destruction of our climate and one of the largest contributors is factory farming, including the GMO crops and the toxic pesticides used.

According to Robert Goodland and Jeff Anhang, co-authors of "Livestock and Climate Change", the environmental impact of the lifecycle and supply chain of animals raised for food has been vastly underestimated, and in fact, accounts for at least half of all human-caused greenhouse gasses (GHGs).

アメリカの多くの郡が蚊を殺すために都市や町に有毒な化学物質を空中散布していることをご存知ですか？これを行うことを決定した部門はVectorControlと呼ばれ、各都市には選出された役人、計画委員、または「管財人」がその委員会にいます。一緒に、彼らはあなたが眠っている間にあなたの家、裏庭の庭、遊び場、小川、そして学校にいつそして何を噴霧するかを決定します。

今週、私の郡では、Vector Controlの理事会メンバーの何人かが、影響を受けた地域の1人の管財人と一緒に意思決定委員会を率いるのは3人だけにするのが良い考えかもしれないと考えました。彼らの意図は、投票のために噴霧が行われる場合、すべての35メンバーを召集させる必要がないことでした。 48時間の公告が必要であるため（彼らはウェブサイトに投稿します）、彼らはスプレーする前に急いで招集して私たちに通知しなければならないのは不便だと感じることがよくあります。

t is with a grateful but deeply saddened heart that I share this news with you today.
We cannot rejoice at the following finding, because the subject matter is of such tragedy, but we are very grateful for the work of all involved.

Today the Monsanto Tribunal judges released their findings. After hearing testimonies from mothers of children with birth defects, farmers with cancer, farmers with animals who suffered serious harm and death, and many more testimonies of harm from around the world, the international judges delivered their findings.

Due to the fact that the opinion tribunal was not taken under oath and the accused did not appear to deny or confirm the statements, the findings can only be given with the understanding that the testimonies given by the victims and claims of harm made in the tribunal will be proven to be true.

In summary: 

The Tribunal recognizes the fundamental right to a healthy environment and human health.

The environment is a precondition of all human health. Monsanto was found to violate that right with their products.

Monsanto has also violated the rights to healthy food and access information which is needed to protect health and environment.

Monsanto has taken actions which could be classified as ECO-cide.

The international community, judges, health organizations, farmers, manufacturers, and consumers are sure to take notice of these important findings and re-think their use of Monsanto's products such as Roundup. We find this to be an important step in moving away from GMO chemical farming and towards organic, regenerative agriculture.We thank the international community who worked tirelessly to create this tribunal.

Read the full transcript of the findings here:
http://en.monsantotribunal.org/Conclusions

The International Monsanto Tribunal is a unique "Opinion Tribunal" convened by civil society to clarify the legal obligations and consequences of some of the activities of the Monsanto Company.

During the hearings that took place on 10月 15 and 16th in The Hague, judges heard testimonies related to the six questions posed to the Tribunal. The ensuing legal opinion delivered by the Tribunal includes a legal analysis of the questions asked, with respect to both existing international law, and to prospective law in order to improve international human rights and environmental law.

The advisory opinion is structured in three parts. The introductory section details the conditions within which the Tribunal was initiated. The middle section examines the six questions posed to the Tribunal. Looking at the broader picture, the final section tackles the growing asymmetry between the rights conceded to corporations and the constraints imposed upon them to protect local communities and/or future generations, wherever corporations operate.

Thank you for continuing to support our work and raise awareness for healthy communities.
We are grateful for you!

Together, we can reverse the rise of health issues and create healthy communities.
