Oregon has the chance this November to be the first state to pass a GE food labeling law via ballot – and passing this law would send a strong message to the rest of the country that GMO labeling is possible.  But Big Food giant PepsiCo just dropped a quarter million dollars into Oregon to defeat the state’s proposed ballot measure to label genetically engineered foods, Measure 92.

This big influx of corporate anti-labeling cash couldn’t have come at a worse time: In one month, voting begins in Oregon – and PepsiCo just seriously raised the stakes.

We have to help Oregon and set the stage for other states to pass GMO labeling laws. Can you pitch in $5 to the Yes on 92 campaign to label GE foods?

PepsiCo is using the massive corporate cash they make from selling food and beverage products – many of which are packed with genetically engineered corn, soy, and other ingredients – to try to stamp out our efforts to label GMO foods in Oregon.

These same big food and agrichemical companies spent nearly $70 million in California and Washington State to defeat GE labeling initiatives there, and judging by Pepsi’s response to Measure 92 we shouldn’t expect these companies to stick to the sidelines here in Oregon.

Passing Measure 92 would send a clear signal to the rest of the country that GMO labeling is possible – and PepsiCo knows it.  

We know that we can’t compete with the kind of money giant food and agrichemical companies like Pepsi and Monsanto can afford to throw around. But we have something they don’t have - actual people who care deeply about their right to know. 

Help us prove that a grassroots campaign like ours can stand up to a Big Food powerhouse like PepsiCo. Contribute to support the Oregon state GMO labeling law, Measure 92, now.
