Hello California!
There is still time to volunteer to ensure that the Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know act gets on the ballot next November. If you haven't yet volunteered, please send us an email with the following information and a local leader from your area will contact you by phone with all the information you will need to attend a signature gathering activist training session. Come and learn the easy and fun way to collect signatures to be ready to hit the streets when we start gathering them in January!
