Evict Monsanto offices, operations, and products from our Central Texas cities, towns, fields, streams, and bodies. Demand they pack up all pieces and outgrowths of their operations in an ethical fashion, taking care of their central Texas employees as they exit, and paying restitution to the farmers and communities they have poisoned or otherwise harmed.
Why is this important?
Monsanto has proven itself a danger to human and non-human communities. Through the production of toxins, carcinogens, and genetically modified organisms, Monsanto has by its actions loudly stated that they value the accumulation of money more than they value clean air, water, and soil, and they value the accumulation of money more than they value healthy communities of humans and non-humans.
Further, their campaigns of dishonesty concerning the safety of their products, their campaigns of legal warfare against small scale farmers, scientists, and journalists, their campaigns of corruption against democratic governments, and their campaigns of horrendous worker treatment in foreign countries demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt that Monsanto's continued existence presents a clear an present danger not only to the foundations of life, but to human systems of government and justice.
