The Monsanto Protection Act is Back

According to the Environmental Working Group, a leading advocate for GMO labeling and major opponent of Rep. Pompeo’s legislation, the new Monsanto Protection Act would:

Block all state laws requiring mandatory GMO labeling, including Vermont’s landmark labeling law;

Prevent the FDA from establishing a national mandatory GMO labeling program;

Possibly block non-GMO claims until the USDA creates a non-GMO certification program, which could take up to 10 years;

Block all state and local efforts to protect rural communities and farmers from the impacts of GMO crops;

Prevent claims by food companies that non-GMO foods are better than GMO ones.

Please take the time to sign the petition against this Monsanto Protection Act.

Don’t Allow Mining on Sacred Native American Land in Arizona

Republicans in Arizona have been attempting for years to trade away the beautiful national forest lands at Oak Flat in Arizona, which are considered holy by the Apache tribe. And until recently, they’ve failed for lack of support. But last December, Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake added some tricky language into a defense bill transferring the land directly to the Rio Tinto Mining Company. We can still fight back and help the Apache win the fight, sign the petition to make your voice heard.
