By putting everyone on the line, it is the POP Campaign’s intention to build enough support to pass a genetically engineered labeling bill in Congress and move forward toward our human right to quality food. Please go to POPCampaign.org or moms4pop.org, sign the pledge and donate. Together we can create a legacy for our children.

This POP Campaign pledge for Moms, Dads and Heads of Households is a blueprint for action in preserving healthy food and supplements and the right to choose.

AS A MOM4POP, I recognize that I am the primary caretaker of the healthy blueprint for organic, alive, nutrient-dense food and supplements. I know that the power of organic food lies in its quality, vitality and aliveness, and that access is a fundamental human right. I know that eating healthy, organic, nutrient-dense foods are best for my health. I choose food that is the result of pure seeds, sustainable farming practices, human dignity, economic affordability and local production — without deceptive advertising, manipulation, misleading labels or genetically altered genes. My greatest assets are my power to choose and my voice to be heard.

Therefore, I am committed to the following:

  • I PLEDGE to transition to 75% to 100% organic food (as much as possible) for myself, my family and children by December 31, 2013;
  • I PLEDGE to educate myself on GE (Genetically Engineered) food and supplements and to avoid purchasing these for myself and my family and children whenever possible;
  • I PLEDGE to become a voice in the lives of my family and community by sharing what I know about healthier food choices
  • I PLEDGE to establish a healthy food legacy for the children in my home, my community and the world;
  • I PLEDGE to declare that the right to quality, unaltered food (the way nature intended) is a human right;
  • I PLEDGE to protect the highest standards for organic, alive, nutritious, sustainable foods, seeds and whole food supplements;
  • I PLEDGE to be a MOM4POP who continually educates myself about healthier food and supplement choices, speaks out boldly, supports government policies that support my pledge and makes a difference by my actions and purchases.
  • Support H.R. 5962 Amendment of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 Strengthening Violations
