About the Rally
Yesterday, the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and allies filed a lawsuit in federal court calling for Act 120, Vermont's GMO Labeling Law, to be struck down.
As a member of the Vermont Right to Know Coalition, NOFA Vermont invites everyone who cares about our right to know what's in our food to join us for a rally in support of Vermont as we defend the new law.

About the Survey
Vermont's GMO Labeling Law requires that raw agricultural and processed foods produced with genetic engineering (GE) bear a disclosure identifying it as having been produced with GE. The Attorney General is responsible for creating the rules that implement the law, and public input is very important at this early stage in the process. Let your voice be heard by completing the Attorney General's survey.
