>>Learn More About the People's Food Summit5th Annual People’s Food SummitThe People’s Food Summit is a people-led alternative to the
UN Food Systems Summit. It amplifies the voices of small-scale
farmers, pastoralists, and Indigenous communities who grow
most of the world’s food, offering real, ground-up solutions rooted
in agroecology, permaculture, holistic grazing, and agroforestry.
Throughout the day, we’ll share powerful conversations from every
continent, highlighting stories, ideas, and practices that are
regenerating land, restoring culture, and building food sovereignty.
>>TAKE ACTION: Ban Monsanto (Bayer) & Israel Chemicals
Ltd's White Phosphorus Weapons!Ban Monsanto (Bayer) & Israel Chemicals Ltd's White Phosphorus WeaponsIn solidarity with Lebanon's The Land Remembers campaign
for an immediate and unconditional ban on white phosphorus
munitions in all forms of warfare and St. Louis, Missouri's ICL
Out of STL campaign to block the city of St. Louis from giving
$200 million for expansion to Israel Chemicals Limited, a company
that, with its partner Monsanto (Bayer), is the monopoly supplier
of white phosphorus weapons to the U.S. War Department,
the Organic Consumers Association is asking Congress to stop
buying white phosphorus weapons and work for a ban.
>>TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Vote Down the So-Called
"Fix Our Forests" Act!The So-Called "Fix Our Forests" Act Would Subsidize Industrial Logging & TechThe so-called "Fix Our Forests" Act is a giveaway to the timber
and technology industries. According to the Center for Biological
Diversity, the bill would "boost logging in national forests while
gutting protections for Canada lynx, spotted owls, and more than
100 other imperiled species that depend on forests for survival."
The John Muir Project calls it "an extreme logging bill
masquerading as a 'forest health' measure. It would eviscerate
environmental laws on public forests in order to dramatically
increase logging of mature and old-growth trees, and clearcutting,
on public lands, at taxpayer expense."
>>TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Support Real Regenerative
Organic, Not GMO Microbes & mRNA Pesticides!Real Regenerative Organic--Not GMO Microbes & mRNA Pesticides!In the name of "soil health," Members of Congress are trying
to pave the way for new genetically modified microbes and mRNA
"pesticides" that could trigger a doomsday for agriculture that
would jeopardize not only our ability to grow food, but imperil life
as we know it on this planet. The FCPA could put a big dent in
illegal logging, but on February 10, 2025, President Trump
ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to stop enforcing the law.
This is bad news for the Organic Consumers Association's
campaign to stop avocado-driven deforestation in Mexico and it's
unleashing a larger corporate crime spree.
>>TAKE ACTION: Tell Driscoll’s to stop poisoning the babies
of California's Central Coast!Tell Driscoll’s to Stop Poisoning Babies!After California banned chlorpyrifos, the state's use of
organophosphate pesticides decreased everywhere except in the
Central Coast region where Driscoll's grows its strawberries.
In Driscoll's Monterey County, use went up 26 percent and
exposure is nearly unavoidable.
>>Tell the EPA to Ban Bayer's Crop-Killing Dicamba Herbicide!TAKE ACTION: Tell the EPA to Ban Bayer's Crop-Killing Dicamba Herbicide!Bayer (Monsanto)’s Dicamba herbicide is meant to be used on its
genetically modified Dicamba-tolerant crops, but when it gets
sprayed, it is extremely drift prone, and drifts away from the GMO
farms and causes extensive injury to cultivated and wild
landscapes, insects, animals and humans. There has never been
a weed killer that has been more destructive in terms of crop
damage.

The Natural Products Expo Is a Trojan Horse of
Genetically Engineered Synbio FrankenfoodsFarmerless “food” and cashless, workerless grocery stores
are here. How long before companies like Amazon start
pulling the plug on retail and agriculture altogether? That’s
what was on my mind as I toured the 2023 Natural Products
Expo in Philadelphia, the trade show that has shaped the
selection of organic and natural offerings at stores
across the U.S. since 1981.
Watch Here
Watch Organic RisingOrganic Rising is the first feature-length film to demystify
organic agriculture for the consumer. Initially the
documentary presents the two predominant U.S. agrarian
practices: conventional and organic, and how they impact
human health and the planet. It simultaneously demystifies
the USDA organic regulatory process and farming methods
allowing consumers to make informed choices and to
explore avenues of supporting and maintaining a strong
and robust agricultural future.
Take Action
Ceasefire Now!Why should people who love regenerative organic food
take a stand for peace? Here’s one of many reasons:
Decontaminating land poisoned with pesticides and
synthetic fertilizers is a wicked problem, but farms sown
with cluster bombs and land mines are beyond the
power of agriculturalists to recover, no matter how
regenerative their practices.

Ask Your State Legislators
to Ban Lab-Grown MeatIn March of 2023, the Italian government supported a bill
that bans lab-grown “foods”. Why? Because Italy cares about
the impact lab-meats could have on their people, their
farmers, and the environment.

Will American state governments do the same?

Stop Weaponizing Pathogens!
Ban Gain-of-Function Biolabs!People are worried about the biolabs in their backyards.
From Boston, Massachusetts, to Manhattan, Kansas, to
Berkeley, California, activists have tried to stop risky
gain-of-function research to weaponize
potential pandemic pathogens.

Now, one city has taken action.

Tell Your State Legislators
to Ban Toxic PFASAmara Strande died of liver cancer from exposure to highly toxic
fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS contaminating the
groundwater in her St. Paul suburb Maplewood where
PFAS manufacturer 3M had been dumping its waste since the
1950s. She was just 20 years old.
