- Protect “rBGH-Free” Labeling
- There has been a dangerous trend recently of states trying to make it illegal for dairies to label their milk as “rBGH-free.” Pennsylvania has already proposed such a rule, and Ohio is considering a similar rule. Help us stop this trend before it’s too late by contacting your State Governor, and telling them to protect “rBGH-Free” Dairy Labels.
- Support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers
- This grassroots organization made up of Florida tomato-pickers has successfully campaigned for fairer worker wages against McDonalds and Taco Bell. Join the fight to add Burger King to the list of corporate fast-food chains that treat their growers and pickers humanely.
