Sept 22nd – Hearing on GMO Labeling in Boston

On September 22, 2015 at 1pm in Gardner Auditorium at the Massachusetts State House, the Agriculture Committee will hear arguments for and against transparency in GMO food labeling. This is an absolutely critical opportunity to make your voice heard and to sent a strong message to state legislators:

We need to know what were eating and we need the Massachusetts legislature to pass mandatory GMO labeling THIS SESSION!

The Massachusetts GMO labeling bill (H.3242) is the most popular bill in the State House, with over 75% of the legislature signed on as cosponsors.

We could soon join with Connecticut, Maine and Vermont in setting the standard for national mandatory GMO labeling. But if its going to come up for a vote this session, we need to turn out with undeniable energy and make this a priority for legislators this year. With 30 new GMO crops in the pipeline and Monsanto working to pass the federal DARK Act, we dont have time to waste.

Please help us fill up the hearing room (which seats 600) with GMO labeling supporters. Click here for more info and to sign up to attend the public hearing. We are also collecting testimony to present to the committee.

“The DARK ACT passing the House shines a big, bright light on our opposition and the lengths they will go to to keep us in the DARK about what we are eating. This bright light on who controls our government and who our elected officials are actually representing will galvanize the grassroots. We did not lose today. We gained strength and momentum and now more people will be shaken from their complacency to stand and fight with us.”
