Guillermo, Because of you, CFS won some tough battles this year – scoring victories for consumers and farmers from Oregon to Vermont. Now your tax-deductible donation can make the difference in 2016. Help us continue to lead the fight for safe food and a healthy environment. Thanks, The Center for Food Safety team ----------------------------- From: Center for Food Safety Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 Subject: You did this, Guillermo View Web Version   Dear Guillermo, With your support, Center for Food Safety celebrated numerous victories protecting our health and our environment over the past year. Thank you for partnering with us in these wins!  We could not do them without your continued action and financial support. DEFENDING GE FOOD LABELING CFS led the effort to pass and defend GE food labeling in Vermont and other states. CFS also successfully blocked attempts at the federal level to eliminate state labeling laws and with your help, we will continue this critical work in 2016. Contribute to help us keep the pressure on to demand labeling of GE foods in 2016 » STOPPING "AGENT ORANGE" CROPS After CFS filed legal action, the EPA blocked registration for a new pesticide formulation that would lead to "Agent Orange" crops. This is a huge victory in our effort to stop this next generation of GE crops resistant to toxic herbicides such as 2,4-D, a fight we will continue in 2016. Chip in to help us continue this important work next year » PROTECTING FARMERS AND CONSUMERS FROM GE CROPS CFS went to court and won, successfully defending a county ban on GE crops in Oregon. Over the past ten years, CFS legal, policy, and science staff wrote and helped pass nearly all of the county GE crop bans that are now law in several states. Donate to help CFS defend more family farmers and consumers from GE crops » REDUCING ANTIBIOTICS IN OUR FOOD CFS members like you persuaded Subway and other food retailers to commit to eliminating the use of antibiotics in their meat supply. This year, CFS was also a key player in passing the first state bill banning the routine use of medically-important antibiotics in animal agriculture in California. Support our work to remove antibiotics from our food » PROTECTING BEES AND WILDLIFE FROM GE CROPS AND PESTICIDES Thanks to CFS's legal actions, GE crops and bee-toxic neonicotinoid pesticides are now banned from all National Wildlife Refuges across the U.S. CFS also scored a victory by pressuring two leading popcorn companies, Pop Weaver and Pop Secret, to phase out their use of neonicotinoids. Help us score even more victories to protect bees » At CFS, we count on donations from our members to make these victories possible. And we need your support to continue these fights in the coming year. We have a lot to do in 2016 to win the battle for a new food future, including: Continuing the critical fight to label GE foods and prevent federal preemption of state GE labeling laws. Congress has made it clear that they want "compromise" legislation on GE labeling as early as January 2016. But with your help, CFS will be there to push hard for mandatory, clear, on-package labeling of GE foods in the U.S. – we'll accept nothing less. Halting the planting of new varieties of GE corn, soy and cotton that are designed by Monsanto and Dow Chemical to withstand massive spraying of Roundup and 2,4-D (a chemical in Agent Orange). If these crops are not stopped, over 800 million more pounds of toxic chemicals will be used on farms every year, polluting our food, water, air, and soil. CFS has led the fight in court and in the halls on Congress to beat back the introduction of these risky new crops, and we can't stop now. Protecting bees, monarchs and other pollinators from the threat of GE crops and the pesticides they rely on through a new ground-breaking legal action, continued successful corporate campaigns to push bee-toxic neonics off the market, and legislative advocacy work to put in place local, state and federal protections for bees and butterflies. The power of the food movement comes from the passion and generosity of grassroots supporters like you. As long as you're with us, we know we can win. As we embark on 2016, we hope you will join us in the fight. Together, effort by effort, victory by victory, state by state, we will create and defend a healthful and socially just food system that empowers people and protects the planet. A tax-deductible donation to Center for Food Safety is an investment in creating a safe and healthy environmental legacy for generations to come. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in our work, The Center for Food Safety team PS - For a gift of $250 we'll send you a CFS tote bag, a "Monarchs Not Monsanto" magnet, a "Monarchs Not Monsanto" t-shirt, AND a signed copy of Alice Waters' new cookbook My Pantry!
