May 14th, 2015 IRC Meeting
Review
Decisions
Endorse & Participate in the March against Monsanto?
The March Against Monsanto is a yearly event against corporate control of food. We supported past marches if only over our opposition to bio tech patents & the patenting of life.
This year's event is the 23rd. There is a Facebook event.
Suggest we endorse and turn people out for it.
