GM Crops Threaten Organic Food!


Act Today Or Kiss Your Organics Goodbye!


After years of bureaucratic wrangling, Secretary Vilsack and the Obama administration are only days away from approving Monsanto’s genetically modified (GMO) alfalfa. If approved, GMO alfalfa will fundamentally undermine the entire organic industry overnight. In addition, the USDA says American consumers don't care about the contamination of organics.

Please join us in calling on Secretary Vilsack and President Obama to stand up for organic family farmers by rejecting the approval of Monsanto's GMO alfalfa. Tell them to protect organic integrity and seed biodiversity over corporate profits. Also call today!

For locals- Don't miss a showing of "The World According to Monsanto" Friday, Jan 28, Elting Library in New Paltz, NY- 8:15PM. "The film, a National Film Board of Canada co-production, meticulously details the manipulative deeds of Monsanto Co., one of the world’s biggest agrochemical-biotech companies, on its route to global domination by tracing a trail of evidence, cover-ups and tragedies from the American heartland and beyond." Monstrous Harvest: "The World According to Monsanto" Movie Review.
