The dangerous anti-GMO labeling bill dubbed the “DARK Act” – Denying Americans the Right to Know Act – has hit a roadblock in the U.S. Senate. But it will only hold if Democratic Senators stand up to Big Food.

Right now, as Monsanto and its allies spend millions to lobby Congress to support the DARK Act, not a single Democratic Senator has signed on to co-sponsor the bill. Without Democratic support, the DARK Act will likely fail to pass procedural hurdles to make it to the Senate floor for a vote.

This is our opportunity to stop this bill dead in its tracks and protect our right to know what’s in our food. We must pressure Senate Democrats not to support this anti-GMO labeling legislation.

Tell Senate Democrats: Stand strong for GMO labeling and reject the DARK Act.

If signed into law, the DARK Act would block all state laws requiring mandatory GMO labeling, prevent the FDA from establishing a national mandatory GMO labeling program, block all state and local efforts to protect rural communities and farmers from the impacts of GMO crops, and prevent claims by food companies that non-GMO foods are better than GMO ones.

Monsanto and the nation’s major junk food companies have spent over $50 million just in lobbying alone to protect their bottom line.1 But with over 90% of Americans supporting GMO labeling in poll after poll,2 our lawmakers must hear directly from as many of us as possible to ensure this bill doesn't move forward in the Senate.
