Labeling campaign officially launched

 Our event this week on May 3rd served as our official launch of the labeling campaign.   Press release went out on Wednesday... 

Grassroots group GMO Free Oregon has launched its campaign to put an initiative on the ballot this November that would require food containing genetically engineered ingredients to be clearly labeled as such. The group will need to collect the signatures of 100,000 registered Oregon voters to get the initiative placed on the ballot this November. 

Read the full press release

We are now working hard on planning the signature gathering efforts that will take place this June.   We need your help!  If you'd be willing to gather signatures at your local farmers market, or gather at your church, volunteer and let us know so we can make sure you get the petitions and info.
