>>Join the Declaration in Defense of our Biodiversity,
Seed and Food FreedomDefending Our Seed and Food Sovereignty, Resisting GMO ImperialismSeeds are the first link in the food chain. They embody our
heritage and enfold the future evolution of life. It is our
inherent duty and responsibility to protect our seeds and
pass them on to future generations. The cultivation of seeds
and their free exchange among farmers have been the basis
for maintaining biodiversity and our food security.
>>Read MoreEggs with “Superior Nutrition” from “Humanely” Caged Hens Packaged in
“Environmentally-Friendly” Polystyrene?The OCA is suing Eggland’s Best for allegedly misleading
consumers by marketing its “Classic Eggs” as: Coming from
caged hens that are “always handled … humanely” and
have space “adequate for normal function and behavior.”
Delivered “in the most environment-friendly way” in polystyrene
cartons that are “recyclable” and accepted by “more and
more communities . . . in their recycling programs.”
>>Read MoreThe Natural Products Expo Is a Trojan Horse of Genetically Engineered Synbio FrankenfoodsFarmerless “food” and cashless, workerless grocery stores
are here. How long before companies like Amazon start
pulling the plug on retail and agriculture altogether? That’s
what was on my mind as I toured the 2023 Natural Products
Expo in Philadelphia, the trade show that has shaped the
selection of organic and natural offerings at stores
across the U.S. since 1981.
>>Tell Congress to ban “gain-of-function” bioweapons research!Will Your Congressperson Ban “Gain-of-Function” Bioweapons Research?Back in November 2023, Congress took the first step to
stopping the next pandemic. "To protect against man-made
pandemics” the U.S. House of Representatives included
language in one of its appropriations bills that “prohibits
any funding from going to EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan
Institute of Virology, or any lab located in Russia or China.
The bill also prohibits funding from being used for any
gain-of-function research, which was being used on bat
coronavirus prior to the COVID pandemic.”
>>Tell Your Lawmakers to Restrict Risky mRNA Foods!Restrict Risky mRNA Foods!Risky mRNA technology is already being used to produce our
food. State legislators are playing catch-up, trying to get
ahead of these new GMOs with bills to restrict or label
mRNA foods. Old GMOs modify DNA. These new GMOs
modify RNA, but the impact on the eater is the same:
they expose us to new proteins that could be toxic or
allergenic.
>>Rent or PurchaseWatch Organic RisingOrganic Rising is the first feature-length film to demystify
organic agriculture for the consumer. Initially the
documentary presents the two predominant U.S. agrarian
practices: conventional and organic, and how they impact
human health and the planet. It simultaneously demystifies
the USDA organic regulatory process and farming methods
allowing consumers to make informed choices and to
explore avenues of supporting and maintaining a strong
and robust agricultural future.
>>Take ActionCeasefire Now!Why should people who love regenerative organic food
take a stand for peace? Here’s one of many reasons:
Decontaminating land poisoned with pesticides and
synthetic fertilizers is a wicked problem, but farms sown
with cluster bombs and land mines are beyond the
power of agriculturalists to recover, no matter how
regenerative their practices.
>>Take ActionMake Your State the First to Ban
Monsanto’s Roundup Weedkiller!In 2015, the World Health Organization confirmed
that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s
Roundup weedkiller, is a probable human carcinogen,
based on strong evidence linking it to n
on-Hodgkin lymphoma.
>>Learn MoreThe People’s Food Summit
was wildly successful!This year’s People’s Food Summit was a historical
achievement in translating actual actions on the ground
to heal, regenerate, and sustain all life on Earth and
showcase the very best of humanity. Our goal in organizing
the summit is to enhance the connectedness of global work
amongst numerous like-minded organizations.
>>Take ActionWant Better Food?
Demand a Better Farm Bill!Why is U.S. food and farming dominated by junk food
peddlers like Pepsi, genetic engineering giants like
Monsanto (now Bayer) and factory farm titans like
Tyson Foods? Every five years, their lobbyists write a
piece of legislation known as the Farm Bill that doles out
billions of our tax dollars in subsidies that grease the
wheels of their big-profits-from-cheap-food machine.
>>Take ActionExit the World Health Organization!Take action! Congress is asleep at the wheel, letting the
WHO subvert national sovereignty without so much as a
debate. Sure, it’s great when the WHO does something
good like recognizing the carcinogenicity of Monsanto
(Bayer)’s glyphosate-based Roundup herbicides or
advising people to avoid non-sugar sweeteners like
aspartame (NutraSweet, which Monsanto sold in 2000)
for weight control.
>>Read More#SayNoToSolarGeo! Blocking the
Sun Is NOT a Climate Solution!Officially, there’s an international moratorium on attempts
to block the sun, as well as a U.N. Environmental
Modification Convention, but rogue “Greenfinger”
billionaires like Bill Gates have continued their dangerous
experiments.
Take ActionStop Weaponizing Pathogens!
Ban Gain-of-Function Biolabs!People are worried about the biolabs in their backyards.
From Boston, Massachusetts, to Manhattan, Kansas,
to Berkeley, California, activists have tried to stop risky
gain-of-function research to weaponize potential pandemic
pathogens. Now, one city has taken action.
Take ActionAsk Your State Legislators to Ban
Lab-Grown MeatIn March of 2023, the Italian government supported a bill
that bans lab-grown “foods”. Why? Because Italy cares
about the impact lab-meats could have on their people,
their farmers, and the environment.

Will American state governments do the same?
Take ActionTell Your State Legislators to
Ban Toxic PFASAmara Strande died of liver cancer from exposure to highly toxic
fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS contaminating the
groundwater in her St. Paul suburb Maplewood where PFAS
manufacturer 3M had been dumping its waste since the 1950s.
She was just 20 years old. PFAS are “forever chemicals” used in a
variety of products, including waterproof fabric, stain-resistant
carpets, nonstick pans, flame retardant furniture, take-out
containers, cosmetics and firefighting foam.
