SWARM MONSANTO
An Occupy Eugene Action

10am Saturday May 25 at Old Federal Building, 7th & Pearl Eugene OR

Let’s march together as Occupy in the March Against Monsanto on Saturday, May
25. Swarm into the Old Fed for coffee and donuts potluck (or drink/food of
your choice or nothing— please join in!) We’ll leave at 10:45 to buzz over to
the Wayne Morris Free Speech Plaza and join the march at 11:00.

Costumes & street theater:
Bees — black clothes or garbage bags with yellow duct tape stripes. Wings,
antennae. Monsanto —dress at you please, bring corn: corn stalks (real or
fake), ears of corn on strings/sticks to temp the bees. Bees buzz around with
signs “Save the Bees!”, Monsanto tempts, Bees die, Bees turn their signs over
“NO GMOs” and rise-up to pollinate again.

Needs to be a quick loop as we will be moving. If you don’t want to play in
the skit, please come with signs (or not) of your choice.

Occupy bandannas (message Brave Beatrice if you want one), patches, ribbons
etc. & Occupy signs will give us exposure, education, and recruitment
opportunities. Plus, it will be a ton of fun!
