We have the right to know! Let’s label GMOs in New York State! Green Party of New York is a proud member of the GMO Free NY coalition. On Saturday, October 12, to mark World Food Day and the March Against Monsanto, the Syracuse Greens are hitting the streets to do outreach about the movement to label GMOs in New York State and to get the word out about our awesome, independent Green candidates, who will stand up to corporate rule and fight for the health of our families and communities. 

Sign and share the petition! Join our outreach team at 11am (pick up a coffee and some materials at the office), hit the streets and then March Against Monsanto at 1:30pm.

We have a right to know about food we eat and feed our families, but currently we don’t have that ability when it comes to genetically engineered (GE) foods.

The number and variety of GE foods reaching grocery shelves is accelerating. There are no regulatory requirements for long-term testing for human health risks. Until we know without a doubt that GE crops are safe to eat, we should have a choice about whether we want to eat them. The use of GMO crops also pose significant environmental risks, including the increased use of pesticides.
