The GM-Free Australia Alliance (GMFAA) would like to extend you a warm invitation to attend the 9th Annual GMFAA Conference in Melbourne, 2nd-4th April.
As global GMO and chemical conglomerates consolidate their grip on farming and seed ownership, our networks are gaining strength to combat their hold over the future of food on our planet.
Seed saving, community gardening, food hubs, regenerative agriculture and indigenous food movements are growing and gaining popularity.
That is why strategic work like ours is so important.
The Alliance brings together campaigners from Foodwatch WA, SAGFIN, Gene Ethics, MADGE and Friends of the Earth with activists based in the Pacific and New Zealand.
Topics covered will include:
· Creating glyphosate-free spaces.
· GM-free food labelling, the GM-Free Shopping list and using social media to promote GM-Free food choices.
GM-free zones and the right to farm GM-Free.
· World-wide threat : New GM techniques are escaping regulation.
· How the industrial food system drives climate change.
· Solidarity with indigenous groups – protecting our region, seeds and food production from climate disasters and biopiracy.

Dear Friend of the Irati Wanti campaign,
Emily Munyungka Austin, Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta, and Karina Lester, granddaughter of Eileen Kampakuta Brown, invite you to attend a special event:
Talking Straight Out: Images and insights from the campaign that stopped South Australia from becoming a nuclear waste dump.
The Lyrics Room, Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide, Kaurna Land
Thursday 15 October, 2015
Doors open at 5pm, Inma, stories and speakers from 6pm
October 15, 2015 marks 62 years since the first atomic bomb test at Emu Junction, South Australia. The Kungka Tjuta remember, “All of us were living when the Government used the country for the bomb. Everybody got sick… They thought they knew what they were doing then…

In March a council of senior Aboriginal women from Coober Pedy, the Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta, made an announcement of their own. “We say no radioactive waste dump in our ngura—in our country.”
For six years the women travelled the country, talking straight out. They called their campaign Irati Wanti. “We all say enough is enough. Irati wanti—the poison leave it.”

They won.
They published a book to share these stories with you. Now we are sharing them again.
There is talk again about radioactive waste dumps in South Australia. When word got to Coober Pedy, women again got together to talk, “We know the stories from the bomb. We know the history. We know the country. And it is crying for us. We will talk over and over and we won’t stop.… Read more >>
