GMOs: California Initiative Petition / GMO labeling — Please Sign!

[Butterfly]

"... Monsanto’s Roundup has been tied to the decrease in the population of monarch butterflies by killing the very plants that the butterflies rely on for habitat and food. What’s been shown to be an even greater threat to the population, though, is Monsanto’s Roundup Ready corn and soybeans ...

A 2011 study (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1752-4598.2011.00142.x/abstract) published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity found that increasing acreage of genetically modified (https://naturalsociety.com/genetically-modified-foods/) Roundup Ready corn and soybeans is heavily contributing to the decline in monarch butterfly populations within North America. Milkweed, a plant butterflies rely on for habitat and food, is being destroyed by the heavy use of glyphosate-based pesticides and Roundup Ready crops."

I'm not seeing a petition at the links. I just did a search for online CA GMO online petitions and found this:

Can we sign the petition online?

A:
No. The technology exists to do it via iPhone or Android, but the state does not yet allow it. (it’s being challenged in court, but probably won’t be ruled on until after we do our signature gathering campaign)

So meanwhile please financially support the https://organicconsumersfund.org/label/ which is working on getting enough petition signers. Even $5 or $10 will help. What happens in CA will provide great momentum for the rest of the country.

And if anyone knows where there are petitions on the street, please let us know.
