April 28th- Rally for Labeling GMO’s in Albany

April 28, 2015 @ 7:00 am - 7:30 pm

$25.00

Tell the NYS Legislature to Make GMO Labeling the Law NOW!

You have a right to know whether your food contains genetically modified ingredients. In fact, 93% of Americans want labeling of GMO food. And in a democracy, the people?s will should rule, not those of corporate interests.

On April 28th, 2015, New Yorkers from all walks of life ? consumers, parents, workers, business owners, health care professionals, environmentalists, and farmers — will make history by converging on Albany to demand that the New York GMO Labeling bill (A.617/S.485) is voted into law in 2015!

New York has an historic opportunity to strike a decisive blow against the junk food companies and agri-chemical giants fighting to keep us all dining in the dark. An unprecedented number of New York Senators and Assembly Members have already endorsed the NY GMO Labeling bill. Let?s make sure they pass it, and the governor signs it, by mobilizing the full power of our grassroots supporters on April 28th at the rally in Albany. Sign up for a bus to Albany!Buses leave early in the morning (7am) and come back early in the evening, around 7pm.

Join hundreds of New Yorkers in sending a powerful message to our legislators: Now is the time to label genetically engineered (GMO) foods! We all deserve and demand the right to know what we’re buying, eating and feeding our families.

Monsanto and their allies in the junk food industry will stop at nothing to keep us dining in the dark. Together, we can defeat them, but it’s going to take all of us.
