Help Stop the Dark Act!
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.
Join us at the Neil Young Concert on Oct. 7th!
Cultivate Oregon will be tabling at the Rebel Content Tour in Portland, OR on October 7th. Come out and join us! Neil Young + Promise of the Real will be performing in support of their new album - The Monsanto Years
“The Monsanto Years are here and we are living them. Monsanto is the poster-child for what is wrong with corporate controlled government in our world. Our upcoming record, The Monsanto Years, encompasses several associated subjects that millions of people worldwide are concerned about and active in. Earth is not ours. We are of the Earth. That’s how I feel. When we plunder our own home we hurt our children and their children after them. I feel responsible.” – Neil Young.
