Help Stop the DARK Act.
Reach out to your Senator Today!

Please consider calling your Senator and ask them to reject any federal bill, including a possible senate version of the DARK Act (Deny Americans the Right to Know) that would preempt labeling of GE food, automatically un-doing successful state laws requiting labeling, as well as nullifying any previously passed GMO bans, like in Jackson and Josephine Counties. We need to flood every Senator’s office with messages in the next few days.


Please pick up the phone and dial 202-224-3121.


The international Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classifies glyphosate, the herbicide most widely used on GE crops, as a ”probable human carcinogen” (New England Journal of Medicine).


For calls, here is a sample script:

Hi, my name is [NAME]. I am from [DISTRICT] and am calling to ask you to oppose H.R. 1599. This will take away state’s and local rights to label and regulate genetically engineered crops. It will harm family farmers and it will undermine local food rights of consumers to know what is in their food. Please protect farmers, state’s rights and my right to know and OPPOSE H.R. 1599. Thank you.
