IN THE FALL OF 2007 THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SPRAYED PESTICIDES OVER SANTA CRUZ & MONTEREY COUNTIES IN PURSUIT OF THE LIGHT BROWN APPLE MOTH (LBAM).
With the Days of Remembrance we recall the aerial pesticide sprayings for LBAM. For now the planes are grounded, but the damage done to the people and the environment of the Monterey Bay area has never been addressed. Join us to mark the suffering, demand accountability, and imagine a better, greener future.
