MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO LAUNCHES NYC TIMES SQUARE BILLBOARD TO COINCIDE WITH GLOBAL PROTESTS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In an effort to promote global awareness over the issue of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and cancer-linked herbicides in the food supply, the grassroots activism group March Against Monsanto has launched a Times Square billboard campaign above the Ripley’s building in New York City ahead of its 4th annual international street March Against Monsanto.
Set to run from April 25th to May 25th, the billboard campaign features the back of a topless female model, with the accompanying statement: ‘Keep GMOs out of your genes.”
“Monsanto has infiltrated various agencies within the United States government, and as a result both public health and the health of our environment has suffered greatly.
Glyphosate, the cancer-linked herbicide that is an essential component in the expansion of GMO crops, is already being banned around the world over safety concerns. Here in the United States, glyphosate is consistently being discovered in everything from hospital feeding tubes and tampons to the breast milk of nursing mothers.
