The EndIs Near For Monsanto
Food Democracy Now!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. — Mahatma Gandhi.
Right now, thanks to your continued pressure, a massive split between the giant GMO and chemical companies and the Junk Food industry, which produces the food we eat every day, is taking place across America.
In the past 3 months alone, Campbell Soup, Kellogg's, Mars, General Mills, Dannon, and ConAgra have ALL announced they will label GMOs in their food products in order to comply with Vermont’s first in the nation GMO labeling law, which goes into effect on July 1st, a little more than 30 days from now.
Even better, many large food companies, like Nestle and Dannon, are simply announcing that they will remove GMOs from their products completely. This is a seismic shift in how major American food companies are responding to the growing power of the food movement.
Less than a year ago – when the House of Representatives passed Monsanto’s Dark Act, these massive changes would have seemed impossible – but because of consistent action from activists like you, we’ve been able to stand up to Monsanto and win time and time again, stalling the Dark Act in the Senate twice this year.
But the fight is far from over and Monsanto knows it!
Please, – help us end Monsanto's corruption in 2016 and don't miss this chance to have your gift DOUBLED 2 to 1 by pitching in whatever you can.
We need your support today, so we can keep telling the truth and stop Monsanto's corruption of our democracy and our food supply! Every voice counts!
We’ve just received confirmation from Washington DC that while you and your family are on vacation over Memorial Day this weekend, Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) are still working behind the scenes to try to kill GMO labeling in America by preempting Vermont’s GMO labeling bill before it can go into effect on July 1st.
Ironically, after fighting us tooth and nail for the past 5 years and spending hundreds of millions of dollars to suppress your right to know what’s in your food – major food companies are putting up the white flag and starting to listen to their customers, but they're still hoping that your senators in DC will preempt states' rights and make mandatory "smart labels" or QR codes on packages that are discriminatory and inaccessible.
Countries around the world put clear labeling on their packaging: "Produced with genetic engineering" because their citizens want to know. Americans deserve the same right!
Outrageously, for the past 15 years, Junk Food brands products in Europe contained no GMOs, while the same product sold in the U.S. did! The Junk Food industry doomsday plan to remove GMOs is finally starting to become the only option. We can't let up now.
With your help, we can make sure that the days of unlabeled products with GMOs are coming to end.
Help us close the deal in Washington, your support of Food Democracy Now! is needed today, chip in now to help stop Monsanto for good!
Double your Impact: Make your tax-deductible donation to Food Democracy Now! before the 2 to 1 fundraising deadline! Every dollar counts!
Although "voluntary", self-labeling announcements by Junk Food Companies are not our master goal, it’s a good beginning to educating people about where GMOs are in our food supply.
We built the rocket ship of Food Democracy Now! and your passion and actions are fueling it. Please help us take our movement to the next frontier, we are so close in D.C. to finalizing a deal on GMO labeling. Thanks for standing with us!
Remember, democracy is like a muscle, either you use it or you lose it! Together we're unstoppable!
Thanks for participating in food democracy,
