We gathered on the Capitol grounds. Adding to the diversity were a few dogs :-) but this was the only one I saw with its own sign.



This is an older article, but does a good job of explaining why we marched against Monsanto specifically.

I snapped a few others before the march, mostly while waiting in line to sign a petition.



Then we lined up to head for downtown St. Paul.

Our chants were not very original "Hey hey, ho ho, GMOs have got to go" but we kept them going.

I was not at all surprised to see a number of my activist friends today.

However, I kept moving around so I could get more pictures.

As something of a John Lennon fan, I loved this one!

Coming back to the Capitol:



I did not get to hear many of the speakers because I got back in the petition line. Saw this creative costume while waiting again.



Here's who was listed as speaking.

Atina Diffley – Organic consultant, farmer, author of Turn Here Sweet Corn

Nancy Brown – Right to Know MN

Steve Suppan – Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy

Deborah Ramos - the Zenteotl Project

I also left a bit early to go get some organic non-GMO groceries at the Wedge Co-op, but not before I snagged a new bumper sticker!
