Stop Monsanto's Secretary of State: Tell Your Senators to Oppose Mike Pompeo's Nomination!
The former Kansas Congressman is known to be the #1 lackey of Big Ag and the ultra-right wing Koch brothers. Here at CFS we know firsthand: Pompeo's track record demonstrates just how far he is willing to go to further corporate interests over Americans' rights to know what's in their food.
Tell Your Senators: No More Delays on Menu Labeling!
The House just voted to approve the so-called “Common Sense Nutrition Disclosure Act” (H.R. 722), which would weaken a rule passed under the Obama Administration requiring restaurants to disclose calorie information for food and beverages on menus and menu boards.
Tell the Senate: Ban chlorpyrifos!
While Trump’s EPA put corporate profits over public health, Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico (D) has introduced a bill that would outlaw chlorpyrifos. The bill is called the Protect Children, Farmers and Farmworkers from Nerve Agent Pesticides Act of 2017 (S. 1624). Tell your senators to protect our kids and ban this toxic pesticide once and for all!
Tell the Trump Administration that GMO labeling must be clear and on the package
CFS filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump Administration on August 27th for withholding a required study on the feasibility of electronic disclosure for labeling of GE foods. Now, just 12 days after the suit was filed, the USDA has released the study!
Protect Endangered Species from Pesticides
The pesticide industry is pushing a bill that threatens the survival of endangered species. Tell Congress to oppose any legislative attempt to weaken ESA protections for species affected by pesticides!
“The opposition had Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont and Dow on their side and the largest campaign budget in our county's history, but with the expertise and support from the Center for Food Safety our group of 150 family farmers beat the chemical corporations and won a precedent-setting win that will protect family farmers from genetically engineered crops for decades to come.”
