Alexis Baden-Mayer
Alexis Baden-Mayer is a lawyer who has worked since 2005 as the Political Director of the Organic Consumers Association, a network of more than 1 million activists committed to creating a healthy, just, democratic and regenerative food system. Alexis is a key organizer of some of OCA’s most popular campaigns, including the “Monsanto Makes Us Sick” campaign to ban Roundup. Alexis isn’t afraid to put her body on the line to call attention to the crisis in our food system. In 2014, the US Health Freedom Congress awarded Alexis a Health Freedom Award for direct actions she’s taken that resulted in her arrest, including shutting down the National Organic Standards Board meeting to protest the weakening of organic standards and entering the White House grounds to deliver a petition to First Lady Michelle Obama in support of GMO labels, one of Barack Obama’s unfulfilled campaign pledges. Alexis’s proudest moment as an activist came in 2016 when Bernie Sanders tweeted a CSPAN video clip of her dumping “Monsanto Money” on the Senate floor to protest the corrupting influence of money in politics. Prior to COVID, Alexis was focused on Farm Bill reform and advocating for a Green New Deal that recognized regenerative organic agriculture as an essential climate solution. Since COVID, Alexis has been investigating the origins of SARS-CoV-2 in “gain-of-function research,” a euphemism for genetically engineered bioweapons. She quickly learned that COVID wasn’t the first Plandemic. Precursors include the West African Ebola crisis of 2014, the 2001 anthrax attacks on the U.S. Senate (traced by the FBI back to U.S. biological weapons labs at Fort Detrick), and the 1976 swine flu scamdemic, the first time a pharmaceutical company, Merck (which launched the U.S. biological weapons program under President Franklin Roosevelt) was granted liability protections for a vaccine. Alexis is currently exposing the merging of the agribusiness, pharmaceutical and biological weapons industries evidenced by the merger of Bayer and Monsanto, as well as the recent purchase of Metabiota by Ginkgo Bioworks. Alexis is the host of Good Vibes Healing with Dr. Henry Ealy and The New MDS: Mothers, Doctors & Scientists with Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America, Dr. Michelle Perro and Dr. Stephanie Seneff. Alexis is a board member of the Virginia Chapter of Children’s Health Defense and a volunteer with COVIDorigins.org and CHD affiliate Health Choice Maryland.

Benjamin Banks-Dobson
Ben Dobson is the founder and president of Hudson Carbon where he facilitates the implementation of regenerative organic food and agro-ecological systems that provide healthy food for people, and positive ecological outcomes. Born on an organic farm in Hillsdale, New York, and has twenty years of experience operating organic farms at various scales in many settings.
From 2014 through 2020 Ben planned, implemented, and managed the transition of three thousand acres of conventional farmland in New York’s Hudson Valley to a regenerative organic grain and livestock system. This work resulted in the development of a local and organic grain supply chain that plays a critical role in the local food system in the Hudson Valley and western New England.
In 2018 Ben co-founded Hudson Hemp, demonstrating a regenerative organic model to the hemp industry and an important new crop to farms in his region. He continues his work with Hudson Hemp as a member of the board.
These experiences have informed the development of Hudson Carbon and its ability to use scientific methodologies to quantify and value the ecosystem services provided by regenerative organic farms and ecosystems as a means to bring financial value to these critical ecological assets.
Ben lives in Sheffield, Massachusetts with his wife Nalise Dobson and their five children.

He was fired for COVID “vaccine” refusal on moral grounds, the creation of a lesser class of humans, while planting the winter vegetables in the garden he kept for his coworkers at the clinic, in October 2021. https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/10/go-down-gardening.html He has been vegetable gardening since 2013, and has worked out a flexible succession-rotation gardening protocol , which helps keep pests and disease from building up in the beds, and puts some nitrogen into each bed every third year.
Since being fired he has been building in the “dream house” he designed and general contracted on, since the basic external structure was completed in early 2022. He learned a lot and it’s now “finished”. He bogs at drjohnsblog.substack.com as well as the original Google blog, which Google sometimes censors.

With the motto “Empowered Moms, Healthy Kids,” Moms Across America grew rapidly in just the first five years, with over 600 leaders that created 1,000+ community events in all 50 states to raise awareness about GMOs, toxins in the food supply and the benefits of organic.

Zen is a firm believer that consumer activism makes a difference and her organization works to empower community leaders to be global game changers
