Join the Rally for the Right to Know

This Saturday, March 26th!

The United States may soon be the only country in the world that does not

require labeling of genetically engineered food. In Spring 2000, the Food and

Drug Administration (FDA) announced that labeling of GE foods would remain

voluntary, even though there was no indication that any company would

voluntarily label genetically engineered foods--and in the 11 years since, none

have. Meanwhile, companies who have eliminated GE ingredients and added

“NON-GMO” labels have faced burdensome regulations, while the FDA lets other

companies continue to use GE ingredients in secret. It is time to stand up and

demand mandatory labeling of GE foods!

This Saturday, March 26th, from D.C. to Colorado Springs--and more than 20

cities in between--thousands of people will join together for a Rally for the

Right to Know, demanding labeling of GMO foods. Check out the events listing on

the Rally for the Right to Know Facebook page to find a rally near you (please

RSVP at the event page if you plan to attend an event).

Our CFS True Food Shoppers Guides will be available at all of the rallies! We

hope our True Food Network members in these areas can attend a rally. This is a

great way to make your voice heard, demand mandatory GE food labeling, and meet

others in your community who care about True Food!

If you can't attend any of the rallies in person, join our virtual rally on

Saturday, March 26th instead! CFS True Food Network members across the country

will be sending letters to Congress urging legislation implementing mandatory

labeling of GMO foods.

If you are not a Facebook user, the event cities and times are listed below.
