> "Over a half-century ago, Mahatma Gandhi led a multitude of Indians to the sea to make
salt in defiance of the British Empire' s monopoly on this resource critical to people' s
diet . The action catalyzed the fragmented movement for Indian independence and was the
beginning of the end for Britain' s rule over India. The act of 'making salt ' has since
been repeated many times in many forms by people' s movements seeking liberation, justice
and sovereignty: Cesar Chavez, Nelson Mandela, and the Zapatistas are just a few of the
most prominent examples. Our food movement -- one that spans the globe -- seeks food
sovereignty from the monopolies that dominate our food systems, with the complicity of our
governments. We are powerful, creative, committed and diverse. It is our time to make
salt. "
