10/16/11: One Million Take Action Against Monsanto
Help us meet our World Food Day 2011 goals!
- 1,000,000 Petition Signatures
- 435 Local Chapters
- Hundreds of World Food Day Events
This October there are a number of ways, big to small, to help the OCA celebrate World Food Day and take action against the forces that are disrupting and polluting our food system. From hosting a small potluck at your home to organizing a Right2Know Rally, here are some ideas for possible events in your area.
1,000,000 Petition Signatures
When asked, up to 90% of US consumers say they'd like to see labels on genetically engineered food, but the Millions Against Monsanto campaign hasn't reached 1,000,000 supporters yet.
Why? Because only about a quarter of the population is aware that as much as 80% of food sold in grocery stores contains genetically engineered ingredients. We're not going to have labels on genetically engineered food until more people know about it.
This World Food Day, October 16, 2011, you can help spread the word by gathering signatures on the Millions Against Monsanto petition.
If each of our supporters recruited just one more, we could easily jump from 600,000 to 1,000,000 strong.
Take the petition to your farmers market or grocery store and ask folks, "Do you think genetically engineered foods should be labeled?" Nine out of ten people will sign the petition. All we need to do is ask.
Please help us reach our goal of 1,000,000 petition signatures by World Food Day, October 16, 2011.
