Global Boycott Procter & Gamble Day XIII - Saturday May 16 2009
Please unite with fellow activists for our thirteenth Global Boycott P&G Day on Saturday 16th May 2009 to expose the callous animal testing practices of the world's largest consumer goods corporation, and makers of Herbal Essences.
Our research shows the majority of people oppose testing cosmetics on animals and will boycott companies guilty of such practices. With your help, we can give millions of consumers the information they need to vote with their purses and help save innocent animals from deadly poisoning tests. If we want to protect animals, it's vital to empower consumers to pressure companies like P&G directly.
What You Need To Do
We - and thousands of defenceless animals - need you to get active with protests, stunts, street theatre, stalls and leafleting in town centres and outside supermarkets. You can also help by organising protests at P&G sites, or displays and information events at your school, college, library, health-food shop, or workplace, and/or by firing off letters to all your regional media and online forums.
With the vast majority of people against animal testing for Herbal Essences, this is an unusually positive and effective campaign that will attract widespread interest and support from the public. For ideas, you can check out more photos and reports from last year's Day at http://tinyurl.com/pgday08 and www.uncaged.co.uk/news/2008/boycott.htm .
Last year's Day was the biggest ever with over 250 different actions across the world. Let's make the 2009 event even bigger and bring renewed hope for those animals at risk from abuse at the hands of P&G and other animal testers. Remember, without YOU, animals are defenceless and vulnerable to the brutality of P&G.
If you ae unable to organise an event yourself but would like to join in with something local, please let me know and I can help put you in touch with any actions in your area.

PROTEST - MONSANTO's GMO SEEDS/CROPS
Friends,
If you care about the environment, human health and sustainable and organic farms:
It’s time to act!
Write to the USDA in these final 24 hours for the comment period to close the loopholes regulating genetically-engineered (GE) crops, also referred to as genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Tell the USDA that the loopholes regarding GE crops must be closed and to suspend approval of additional GE crops until truly independent, peer-reviewed testing can be performed.
While supporters claim this technology is safe, thorough testing was never completed before GE crops/GMOs were introduced into our food chain. Already more than 60 percent of packaged foods sold in U.S. supermarkets contain genetically-engineered food that American consumers unknowingly eat everyday.
Not only is this a great concern for consumer health, but also for family farmers who must pay exorbitant technology fees for the GE seed, and for the environment and sustainable and organic farmers whose crops can become contaminated due to GE drift.
If you care about food safety, it’s time to make your concern about GE food known! The USDA is accepting public comments on a proposed rule about GE until the close of business March 17th.
Tell the USDA that it must ensure the safety of GE technology for eaters, farmers and the environment!
If you want to learn more about concerns regarding genetically engineered food, watch The Future of Food tonight and this week on DIRECTV Channel 375 and DISH Network Channel 9410. Visit LinkTV for schedule. http://www.linktv.org/programs/future
Please send in your comments now!
Best,
Dave

Re: Docket No. APHIS-2008-0023, Importation, Interstate Movement, and Release into the Environment of Certain Genetically Engineered Organisms.
I am very concerned about the risks posed by genetically engineered crops. They threaten human health, family farmers, and the environment. I urge USDA to withdraw the proposed rule, publish the Environmental Impact Statement for public review and comment, and suspend all new GE crop approvals in the interim.
After USDA releases the EIS, a comment period of at least 90 days is needed so the public has the opportunity to fully participate in a transparent process on this important issue. This will not only aid in the development of the final EIS but also in the drafting of a new proposed rule. The current proposed rule does little to close the loopholes in the regulations the rule is designed to replace and it creates more gaps than it fills.
