Share your voice on the 2012 Farm Bill

Tell the Senate to Label GMOs, support organics

This week the Senate is hammering out the final details to one of the single most important pieces of legislation that determines what Americans, and many people around the world, eat on a daily basis. Congress only passes a Farm Bill every 5 years and we need your help. Over the next 10 years, the 2012 Farm Bill is expected to cost the American taxpayer more than $1 trillion dollars. Unfortunately agribusiness lobbyists have larded the bill with pork barrel spending and endless loopholes.

But there are a number of urgent amendments that Food Democracy Now! and our allies support to create a healthy sustainable food future. Today Senator Bernie Sanders put forward an amendment to label genetically engineered foods and he needs your support! At the same time, join us in supporting fair crop insurance for organic farmers and guaranteeing seed diversity for generations to come!

Today, there’s a floor fight in the U.S. Senate to decide who benefits this time around: You or corporate lobbyists?
