On January 26, Sen. John Marty and Rep. Karen Clark introduced SF 335 and HF 351, two bills to label genetically modified foods in Minnesota.
The Organic Consumers Association is working with Right to Know MN to pass these bills in 2015, and we need your help.
This Valentine’s Day, send your state legislators a “Love a Label” valentine and ask them to support GMO labeling in 2015!
In 2016, when polls predicted he would lose the Iowa primary, Trump insulted Iowa voters when he tweeted: “Too much #Monsanto in the #corn creates issues in the brain?” But don’t be confused by Trump’s tweets.
The Trump Administration has just announced a new GMO deregulation scheme, and it’s the most audacious effort to force dangerous, experimental “foods” onto the market since genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were first introduced in the 1990s.
Under Trump’s new GMO deregulation plan, there would still be no safety testing or meaningful labeling of GMOs. There would still be nothing to protect organic and non-GMO crops from contamination—which isn’t all that different than what we got from Obama and every president going back to George H.W. Bush.
Fact is, every single GMO that’s ever been submitted to U.S. regulators has been approved! From the first GMO, Monsanto’s genetically engineered growth hormone rBGH that makes cows over-produce milk, to the latest gene-edited apples, potatoes and mushrooms, Americans eat a lot of GMOs that are banned in many other countries.
TAKE ACTION BY MIDNIGHT JUNE 19: Don’t let Trump deregulate GMOs!
Massachusetts is one of only two New England states where a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) cannot get a license to practice. That means that if you want to visit an ND, confident that he or she has gone through a proper licensing program, you have to cross state lines.
TAKE ACTION by January 14: Ask Gov. Baker to support S2335 to regulate Naturopathic Doctors in Massachusetts and make naturopathic care accessible for all Massachusetts residents.
The OCA, along with IFOAM International Organics, Navdanya, Regeneration International (RI), Millions Against Monsanto and dozens of global food, farming, environmental justice groups have announced they will put Monsanto on trial for crimes against nature and humanity, and ecocide!

A bi-partisan bill (SB 30) to permit shared animal ownership (herdshare) agreements for the consumption of raw milk has been passed by the legislature and is now in the hands of Governor Tomblin.
Contact Gov. Tomblin today and urge him to sign SB 30!
We received a tip this week that Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) may sign off on a Fast Track bill with Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).
We can’t let that happen! Tell Senator Wyden that no version of Fast Track is acceptable!
