Ella Baker Center for Human Rights has come out in support of CA Prop 37,
an upcoming ballot initiative that would require the labeling of
Genetically Modified Food in the State of California. Ella Baker joins
2,076 businesses and professional supporters of the CA Right to Know
Campaign and the fight for GMO Labeling including Sustainable Living
Roadshow, California Biosafety Alliance, Food and Water Watch, Institute
for Responsible Technology, Non-GMO Project and more.Sustainable Living Roadshow (SLR) is a caravan of educators and entertainers who tour the country in a fleet of renewable fuel vehicles to empower communities and individuals to utilize sustainable living strategies for a healthier planet. Over the next couple of months leading up to election day, Sustainable Living Roadshow is channeling their playful energy into YES on Prop 37, especially around mobilizing the grassroots and increasing awareness around labeling Genetically Modified Foods.
Prop 37 will require the labeling of all Genetically Modified Foods in the State of California. The USA and Canada are the last industrialized nations that don’t require the labeling of Genetically Modified Foods, even though GMOs are found in over 70% of traditional American groceries. Recent studies showing that GMO diets caused cancer and reduced life spans in mammals, makes this legislature even more crucial. California's labeling of GMOs will hopefully lead to a national labeling initiative, paving the way for all Americans to have the Right to Know what's in their food.
