Two of the most often repeated comments I hear from donors are: “Thank you for never giving up!” and “I wish I had more to give.”
Today, on #GivingTuesday, I promise you that no matter the obstacles, we will never give up the fight against corporations that contaminate your food and poison your environment.
And to those who say they wish they had “more to give,” let me say this: Your donation is critical! Our organization runs on donations just like yours.
We work to protect your food and environment in a variety of ways.
Our corporate campaigns expose the corrupt practices of companies like Monsanto and DowDupont.
Through our legal work, we force companies like Tyson and General Mills and Ben & Jerry’s to either live up to the promises they make about their products—or stop misleading you with labeling lies and fraudulent ads.
On the policy front, we mobilize hundreds of thousands of consumer comments and petition signatures and phone calls to urge members of Congress to prioritize your safety—not corporate profits.
But the most important work we do is keeping you informed, so you can make healthier consumer choices. And that work suffers when funds run low.
Like most nonprofits these days, we’ve recently found ourselves facing quarterly budget shortfalls.
It’s not surprising. After all, it seems the number—and urgency—of crises threatening our future grows with each passing day.
It’s hard to keep up. But we must. And we must never give up.
