Join the global march against Monsanto, in Houston, Saturday afternoon, May 25.  It's time to take back our food.  It's time to march against Monsanto.  More details are at http://bit.ly/htownmam and  http://march-against-monsanto.com

Why we march: 

A memorial to all lives lost during the war in Iraq and the ongoing war in Afghanistan is on display May 25, 26, and 27 at Discovery Green in downtown Houston, next to the intersection of McKinney and Crawford.  The memorial consists of a labeled US and Texas flag for each of the almost 600 Texans killed in both conflicts and a memorial to denote the many tens of thousands of Afghan and Iraqi civilian losses.  Event is sponsored by the Houston chapters of Veterans for Peace and CodePink.  Volunteers are needed to place flags at 9 AM on the 25^th and retrieve flags a
