La Habra, CA.

I am located in Glendale, Ca. I helped out with the Right To Know Campaign last year and have wanted to become involved again with this movement. I am trying to get information on the March Against Monsanto. Do you know of any groups organized in Los Angeles of the surrounding area who will be participating in the March Against Monsanto? I have a small group of people who would like to do this and we’d like to join a group who is already going. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The Vermont State Legislature is currently livestreaming the debate/vote on a GMO Label Bill (H.112). The link can be found at www.leg.state.vt.us under the first header. Thought someone may find this interesting…

I’m writing a speech on Labeling GMOs for my agriscience class. Could you tell me how many states have labeled, if any? Also, would you happen to know how many countries have banned GMOs and how many have labeled? It would be much appreciated.

I am from Minneapolis Minnesota. I am using your video with creative commons to help inform people about GMO products, how to avoid GMO products now, and what people can do to help influence the future.I really want to express my appreciation for this event as the March Against Monsanto draws near. I look forward to possibly combining efforts with your organization in the distant or possibly even near future.

Tucson , AZ: I am an organizer with the March Against Monsanto, and Occupy Public Land. I am interested in starting a PAC under the name “Label GMOs” to have a city ordinance enacted on the obvious.


We also plan on doing a campaign where we would provide an edible garden in the home of each neighborhood in the City of Tucson with the help of our local sustainable orgs.


I envision the new project we are taking on here to be an extension of the work and brand you carry there, and would love to discuss the possibilities with one or as many of your organizers as possible. I look forward to working with you on long lasting change, and shall we all March Against Monsanto & Co..


Greenly,

Hawaii. We made it all the way through the HI state house and to the tri state committee of AGL/ Consumer Protection/ and Health who deferred the bill at this point. It’s not over “until the fat lady sings” however. Unforunately two of the committee chairs (other than Health), weren’t convinced after over 200+ studies were presented on health harms and summary of 5 different cost analysis reports on GMO Labeling . HB174 was a bill reduced to just GMO labeling imports of fruits and vegetables, even though all of the county councils from the outer islands and 6 of the areas of Oahu overwhelmingly responded to get all GMO foods and products labeled this in the legislative package from the counties, which missed out due to a technicality in Oahu’s county council. However, over 1000 people sent in written testimonies to the legislature, and, on site testimony filled the space in every committee. Just got positive feedback from one of the legislators to this article: Why Labels on Genetically Engineered Foods Won’t Cost Consumers a Dime By Zack Kaldveer and Ronnie Cummins

Organic Consumers Association, April 9, 2013 to use in future legislation. Mahalo Nui loa. Hawaii is still more active and steadfast than ever. Onipa’a! (Be steadfast") the last words of Hawaii’s former Queen Liliuokalani!

Our HI state motto: Ua mau ke ea o ka ’aina i ka pono! The life of the land (includes our bodies) is perpetuated in righteousness.

hello i live in a busy downtown la neighbor hood and would love to help set up a group and or camping office here thx Kirk Ledger 323 895 5675

Hey there,


let me begin by saying that I am totally for GMO labeling and that you guys have been doing a great work. To take it to the extra mile, I would strongly recommend you to correct the following information:


“Much of the World Already Requires Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods


61 countries with over 40% of the world’s population already label genetically engineered foods, including the entire European Union. Even China labels genetically engineered foods. California should lead on this important issue. What do these countries know that we don’t?"


I’m French and living in France and I can tell you that NO labeling for GMO’s exist. The only label you’ll see is “without GMO’s”, and products containing GMO’s are not required to be labeled as such.


Thanks,

Jean

We have created a FREE, open platform for the exchange of product information. It’s a simple idea; we put a “digital label” on every product – from food and cosmetics to toys and electronics – and open it to the public.


Consumers and organizations can now instantly see and share all of the reasons to buy or avoid any product – from environmental, political, and social reasons, to health and safety and even just personal taste – simply by scanning the product’s barcode.

Its time to finally confront the fact that Obama works for Monsanto, just like most of Congress. Its time to let go of the self-defeating fantasy that Obama or anyone but ourselves, will protect us from eating poison, or feeding it to our kids. It’s time to go out and label the food ourselves. GO OUT and LABEL THE FOOD OURSELVES. NOW. Print labels that say WARNING CONTAINS GMO MATERIAL !!! Go into the stores that sell this poison, and stick the labels on the food. Now. Or – do nothing. They are counting on it.

I’m in Chattanooga, TN. I’ve know about the health effects of gm food and have been following studies for a while. I’m looking for a way to have labels placed in TN. How should I go about with this, who do I contact?

I’m a teacher at Napa’s New Technology High School.


Proposition 37 did not pass last year, but a new similar labeling ballot is in the works for 2014 thus making this a currently relevant issue for voters…and our students will be voting soon!


Our Biofitness students (all freshmen in our integrated Biology, Health, and PE class) have been researching and analyzing the safety and labeling of genetically engineered foods and the science and controversy behind it. The driving question for this 6 week project is: “Do genetically engineered foods pose significant risk to human health and should we, as a society, require that genetically engineered foods be labeled?”


Every 9th grade student is individually writing an depth research paper and analyzing at least one actual scientific journal in preparation for a community event where teams of students will take a stance on the driving question. Community members will also be asked to vote on topic.


The event is at New Tech High on the evening of March 18th from 6:00-7:30pm, and we would be honored if any of you would be able to attend and make sure information being provided to the public is as accurate as possible. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. Please see the attached flier for further detail – we also hope that you may help us with encouraging other community members to attend.
