To President of Argentina Cristina Kirchner:

As concerned global citizens, we urge you to immediately stop Monsanto’s plans to build a massive GM seed laboratory in Córdoba, and instead open a genuine public debate about the future of GM in Argentina. The plant and the pesticides that will be used in it pose serious health risks to local people and the environment, as well as undermining people’s right to decide what food is produced and consumed in their communities.

One Mother vs Monsanto
Monsanto's extending its power over the globe, with a massive new frankenseed factory in Argentina. Sofía Gatica is a local mother who's spoken out, but has received death threats and a brutal beating. The threat to her is urgent -- let's stand with her and get this plant shut down.

Monsanto manufactures the genetically modified seeds that, when combined with toxic pesticides, create the devastating 'monocultures' -- where nothing grows but a single plant -- that increasingly cover our planet. Now they plan to build one of the world's largest GM seed factories in Córdoba.

Sofía, worried about health risks from the plant, has helped lead the protests, backed by 70% of the area's residents. If 1 million of us join her in the next 3 days, we can raise the profile of the issue in local media, feature the petition in an ad campaign, and push the unpopular Argentine President to shut down the plant and roll back the spread of Monsanto's toxic agriculture.
