1.   Zen Honeycutt talks about her path to founding Moms Across America (MAA).  MAA has been a leading voice on the dangers of GMO foods (Genetically Modified Organism) and the pesticide chemical Glyphoate upon which they depend in Monsanto’s system of planting Round-Up Ready GMO seeds that are made immune to the use of Round-up herbicide that kills other plant and microbial life. Zen encourages towns to follow the template of action of MAA’s National Toxin Free Town Campaign for removing roundup from their community.

About our Guest: 
Zen Honeycutt is the mother of three boys who struggled with allergies and autism symptoms until their diet was GMO Free and organic. She is the creator of Moms Across America, a national coalition of unstoppable moms to raise awareness about GMOs and related pesticides.
Moms Across America now has had over 600 local leaders create more than 850 events in the past 4 years, raising awareness with millions, shifting the market place to organic and creating healthy communities across the country and around the world.
Zen has been featured on CNN, the Dr.Oz show, the Wall Street Journal, CSPAN, ABC 7, and Moms Across America has been on Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, The Hill and more. She is an international speaker and writer.

The mural is now being restored by the original artist with a grant that will fund apprentices in the Art Quest program.

Poetry:  If Only  written and spoken by Elaine B. Holtz

If Only

If only we could see we are all one in human kind.
Bombs dropping from the sky,
What makes us so unkind that accept these things?

Mother shelters her baby in the night.
She is full of fright,
eyes glazed on the lit up sky, whispering, “God, why?”
Children needing food, their stomachs bursting out,
so hungry they lost the ability to shout,
“Please feed me; see me; and hold me;
bathe me in the waters, warm, cold and clean.”

What is it?
What needs to change?
What stops you — what stops me
from seeing the simplicity of it all?

The hearts call,
“Feed me;
see me;
hold me;
know me.”
