Label GMO foods!

A bill in front of Washington state is due to be voted on November 5 requiring that genetically modified foods be honestly labeled as such.  Opponents have spent over 22 million in a campaign to prevent truthful labeling.  Kudos to the Bonner family and products for personally leading the fight. 

When the Bronner family, founders of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, decided to commit to passing I-522, the Washington State GMO labeling initiative, they did it in a big way. This one small family-owned business has spent an astonishing $2.3 million to pass a GMO labeling law in Washington State.
Why take such a big risk? Because the Bronners know that if we win this battle, we will win the war.
While so many companies – multi-million dollar national brands – have sat on the sidelines, making excuses for not contributing much-needed money to the YES on I-522 campaign, Dr. Bronner’s has gone out on a limb. For your right to know.
