Saturday, November 3, 2012 from 1pm to 2:30 pm at L.A. Eco-Village Directions
Anna Marie Carter aka The
Seed Lady of Watts
gives a public talk on
What do we do if Prop 37
doesn't pass: a back-up plan
Schedule:
1:00 pm Veggie Potluck Lunch (please bring your own non-throwaway eating ware)
1:30 pm Talk starts promptly
By
now, everyone knows that "yes" on Prop 37
means that we want GMO foods to be
labeled. But many big chemical and agri
businesses are putting tons of money into
defeating this common sense legislation.
Hopefully, we will be celebrating its
passage next week, but what if it looses?
What then? Come here Anna Marie Carter's
back-up plan, should Prop 37 fail at the
polls. About Anna Marie Carter
