WANTED for Profiteering off People and Planet: Cargill, Inc.

This corporate 'person' is GUILTY of putting profit over people and planet.

Help stage a citizens’ arrest of Cargill, Inc. in front of the Grain Exchange to apprehend Cargill Inc. as a corporate impostor posing as a person with constitutional rights, and hold Cargill accountable for its crimes of prioritizing profits over people and planet.

Search Party & Rally: Saturday, January 21, 2012
Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm.
Where: March from People’s Plaza to the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (S. 4th St. @ S. 4th Ave)

It's up to us, the 99%, to bring this elusive Mr. Cargill, Inc. to justice.

Bring a list of any Cargill corporate crimes you have witnessed to help compile a full list of grievances.

This rally is a fantastic opportunity to make an impact, resist corporate personhood, and bring together allies working on unique aspects of the same issues: food, food justice, sustainability, climate, workers rights, accountability, etc. This rally is beyond palm oil, it’s challenging Cargill’s model of profits above well-being. We are so much stronger together… please forward this along!
