As part of OCA’s Millions Against Monsanto
Truth-in-Labeling Campaign we are encouraging activists in our network to plan
their own campaign events with others in their area. This email is to inform
you that there is an upcoming event near you, organized by grassroots organizers
who care about the GE-labeling issue as much as you do.

Food Activist Pamm Larry, who is spearheading the effort to get GMO Labeling on
the California Ballot in 2012 (labelGMOs.org), is speaking at a series of
informational events in your area.

The goal is to pass a voter
initiative on the November 2012 ballot that would require all foods containing
GMOs to be labeled.

These meetings are for activists to come together to learn about the
initiative, how we suggest being activists in your community and organizing
into a new cohesive group. We will be asking for folks to think about
committees they want to be on and assign a point person.

Please come ready to “roll up your sleeves” and get to work on
what we’re

sure will be a historic ballot measure.
