**BREAKING:** A bill to block states from labeling GMO’s has JUST been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. If we don’t fight back NOW, our right to know what’s in our food will be GONE.

There will be no second chances. Either we raise $50,000 by midnight to launch a full-scale effort to stop what has been dubbed the Deny Americans the Right to Know – DARK – Act, or the fight for GMO labeling is**OVER**.

We’re a few months into this Congress, and it’s getting clearer by the day: **special interests like Big Food and the chemical industry are calling the shots.** This Congress has even allowed these groups to write key legislation! 

First, powerful chemical industry groups introduced a bill to handcuff toxic chemical regulators, putting American workers and families at risk of exposure to harmful chemicals. Now the food industry has launched its own attack: **The DARK Act.**

EWG is ready to fight to protect YOUR health and YOUR right to information, but we can’t do it alone. Donate by midnight to help us raise $50,000 and shut down the DARK Act. If everyone gives, we’ll make it – **but that’s the only way.**

**P.S.** The federal Food and Drug Administration approved GMO apples and potatoes just last week, meaning we could see GMO potatoes in grocery aisles within a few months - but they won't be labeled.
