GMO kalo briefing with Hawaiian Caucus
Message from Kahu
Haloa:
TUESDAY, January 27th
Taro farmers, scientists & doctors will be presenting mana'o on the issue of genetically modifying kalo, at a formal briefing before the Hawaiian Caucus legislators
Hawaii State Capitol
Room 423 (room could change on the day of, look for signs if room has changed).
1:00 pm
PLEASE COME!
Your presence is always a blessing, to malama Haloa, to participate in the decisions that will effect our most sacred plant and food. The farmers have drafted a bill to formally protect all pono efforts to farm taro in Hawaii nei, while asking that GMO-taro experiments be ceased as they are: unacceptable to the community, irreversibly harmful to taro's hypoallergenic qualities, and could endanger the taro market. That bill will be presented at this briefing.
Perspectives from the biotech industry will also be presented by biotech industry lobbyists, in order to encourage informed factual review and formal public dialogue about this issue in front of decision makers and our community.
Spread the word, all ages are welcome at this public briefing! Can bring your class too!
Park underneath the capitol building, the entrance driveway/ramp is on Punchbowl st.- ewa side, look for small sign. This is just a regular day at the capitol so there should be plenty open spots, i think the meters are $2/hour or so (??).
stay rooted for more information and events.......... and contact us on how to get involved!
e malama Haloa!
