NO GM CROP COMMERCIALISATION - DELIVER YOUR MESSAGE TO DEFRA

Wednesday 24 July 2002

Bring your own picnic

2pm: DEFRA, Smiths Square, Westminster

Nearest tube: Westminster (District or Circle Lines)

We are nearing the end of the GM farm scale crop trials which have been
contaminating our countryside during the last three years without our
consent. Now the government have acknowledged the need for a consultation on
the commercialisation of GM crops in Britain.

So let's tell them what we think!

And whilst we are about it, let this be a celebration of five years of
resistance to GM crops!

Come to this event to deliver your message of resistance to GM crops:
        We say NO to GM experiments in our countryside.
        We say NO to the commercialisation of GM crops.

Bring messages from your own locality, bring people, letters, petitions,
placards and banners.  Express your message with creativity and artwork.
Bring musical instruments and songs. Invite your kids, friends and
relatives. Wear costumes and fancy dress.

By delivering our message together and by representing local groups from all
over the UK we have an opportunity to show that resistance to GM crops will
prevail.

This event is still open to suggestions as to how it can be improved.
If you want to help and get involved please get in touch
