Del mar al mar brillante

From junio 29^th to julio 7^th, all across America Moms and supporters are joined into 172 parades to letting an estimated 1 million of  their neighbors know about GMOs directly and millions more via media and word of mouth. This was an act of generosity and courage on a grand scale, an example of what makes America great! What awesome and generous people!

 Lo que hace grande a Estados Unidos no es el partido en la Casa Blanca o el auge de nuestra economía, no es la cantidad de guerras que hemos ganado o la popularidad de nuestro presidente. Lo que hace grande a Estados Unidos son las acciones individuales de las personas, y todas las personas tienen mamás. Las mamás en Estados Unidos hacen la gran mayoría de todas las compras, por lo tanto, impulsamos la economía. Somos los planificadores sociales de las comunidades de la iglesia y las actividades escolares, por lo tanto, dirigimos nuestras comunidades. Las mamás tienen la palabra en el hogar acerca de las comidas, la salud, las tareas del hogar y la escuela, guiando a nuestras generaciones futuras para crear la prosperidad y el éxito de Estados Unidos. En cierto sentido, se podría decir que el estado de América es responsabilidad de nuestras mamás. Si hay algo que no le gusta de Estados Unidos, los ciudadanos, incluidas las mamás, debemos analizar de cerca nuestro papel en eso.

¿Nos hemos adueñado de él?

¿Qué podemos hacer que no hayamos hecho antes?

¿Qué es algo nuevo que podríamos crear en esa área?

The power in being a Mom is taking on our role in America. That is why our Calcomanías de coches say ”Bring it ON! I’m a MOM!” and "Label GMOS!"

On julio 4^th, we took on GMOs and did something new. For most of us, we had not marched in a parade since Girl Scouts and we never even considered being an activist. The majority of us are not radicals, we are not political, we are not doing this for certain religious reasons, we are simply Moms who care about the future of our children. We know that 64 other countries have banned or label GMOs and we march for that freedom here in the USA. We are angry about GMOs but we Moms know that other Mom’s are most likely to consider information when it’s delivered in  non threatening way. Moms know that love works. So we marched with patriotism and pride to be in America’s biggest traditional community event. We marched with love, a friendly attitude and joyous smiles. We were supported by wonderful husbands, partners, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends and kids. People who care about health and freedom marched for no personal gain. We took on GMOs, were mostly received with cheers and wonder, ( when have most Moms been CHEERED at for talking about GMOs before??? Never! This was so empowering!!!) and we have never been prouder of our great nation.

El amor fue toda la motivación que necesitamos para marchar por nuestra calle principal, valientemente solo bajo la lluvia, como Mom Samantha en Frankfurt, Kentucky o en 107 grados de calor como Jessica Denning y más 70 seguidores, en Carmichael CA Cantamos, cantaron, saludaron, sonreían y vitoreaban junto con los sorprendidos y encantados seguidores. También miramos a nuestros vecinos a los ojos y les dimos volantes de información sobre transgénicos o sostuvimos una pancarta y letreros que llevaron un nuevo mensaje a miles de personas en las calles que no sabían sobre los transgénicos. Podíamos verlos preguntándose, volviéndose hacia sus vecinos y preguntando "¿Qué es un OMG?". Nuestros corazones saltaron de alegría cuando un vecino dijo: "Organismo modificado genéticamente". Misión de mamá cumplida.

El amor por nuestros hijos es nuestro combustible. Tenemos una fuente interminable de ese amor. Este es solo el comienzo. Moms Across America no se detendrá hasta que los alimentos transgénicos estén etiquetados y fuera de nuestras mesas. Continuaremos defendiendo, marchando, cantando y cantando por “Mamás empoderadas, niños sanos”.

Queridas mamás

” If every Mom knew how awesome they are , every problem in the world would be fixed.” – Kid President

When I watched this video,  my heart giggled. My soul glowed and I thought of all the times when I stopped, looked and listened to the glory of childhood…and sometimes even joined in with a booty shake and high five. The awesomeness of being a Mom is not all the things we do, but it how present we are to what we are doing.

In short, it’s who we are BEING. Mostly I don’t take the time to think about or create that, but when I do, when I choose that Today is the Day that I am being Courageous, Creative and a Contribution…whoa, watch out world…things are done that have never been done. My kids get a Mom who is happy to build a volcano with them instead of resentful.  I reach out and do activism in the world to make  a future for our kids great in ways I never imagined before. And when I see other moms being present with their kids, being gentle, curious and giggly, I know that all our activism is for those moments…the fleeting, magical, moment of love and delight.

So  I invite every Mom on Moms Across America, to really get how awesome you are. Not because of all the doing, but because of who you are being. You are being your kids champion. You are being Courageous, Creative and a Contribution. You are the Gateway to Adventure! You are the most awesome person on the planet to at least one person and in their eyes, you can do anything.  Look at yourself through their eyes …because theirs is the most beautiful perspective in the world.

Como fundadora de Moms Across America, nuestra misión es Empowered Moms, Healthy Kids. Nuestro compromiso actual es capacitar a millones para que se eduquen sobre los organismos genéticamente modificados o los OGM, los etiqueten y ofrezcan soluciones gratuitas de OGM en los Estados Unidos.  

We have created the Moms Across America March to Label GMOs on julio 4. We have  partners all across the nation like Robyn O’Brien ( Mom of 4 and TedX Talk speaker “Patriotism on a Plate”),  LabelGMOs.org, The CA Guild, GMO Free USA ( Mom Diana Reeves), Green America/GMO inside, March Against Monsanto (Mom Tami Monroe), Institute for Responsible Technology, NYR Organics,  Dr. Bronners, Nature’s Path, Nutivia, Holistic Moms and many more.

We hope you will join us in marching in parade on the 4th of July in your hometown or town on vacation near you. This is  the one opportunity we have to share our message with thousands locally and millions nationally, who are ready, waiting and interested.  So grab a balloon, your kids and trike and join us!
