By /
From a press release Friday (May 24):

The March to Save Hawaii is ohana style, a safe and peaceful march which will begin staging at Saratoga and Kalakaua in Waikiki on May 25th at 10:30AM with a pre-rally beginning at 11:00AM.

Two makai lanes of Kalakaua will be closed off and and HPD will accompany with a motorcycle brigade. Da Hui will lead and secure the perimeter, hosted by Uncle Walter Ritte, Daniel Anthony of Mana Ai, Seeds of Truth, Babes Against Biotech, Sustainable Coastlines and GMO Free USA with participation from dozens of groups across Oahu standing up to GMOs.

All people against GMOs are welcome to join, wear green, be green, bring reusable water bottles, non-GMO snacks, signs and bathing suits to jump in the water!

In a statement,Alicia Maluafiti, executive director of the Hawaii Crop Improvement Association, said:

“There is a lot of incorrect information and fear mongering about the health and safety of genetically modified foods and our companies who help to produce them.

“Genetically modified crops are the most tested and regulated crops and the scientific consensus about their safety is overwhelming.”
