Event: March Against Monsanto CLE 2016

It's time again for us to march... against Monsanto!

This peaceful, community event brings together Clevelanders from all walks of life as we stand together to let the world know it's time for Monsanto's damaging presence to come to and end.

March Against Monsanto CLE features a variety of speakers who give their stories about how Monsanto, and the widespread use of GMOs and harmful pesticides/herbicides, is damaging to our health, the environment and the world at large.

After our speakers have finished, we will all march around the block in Ohio City and let our voices be heard! So bring out your best signs, and help to let the world know that it's time to take our food back!
