We need 30,000 signatures demanding the withdrawal of the BRAI Bill, before meeting the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Friday. Sign Our Petition Dear Kanav - We have 3 more days! The deadline for public feedback on the dangerous BRAI Bill is this Friday. It’s time for one last effort to ensure safe food in India and we need your support. Our government is trying to introduce the BRAI Bill to give easy approval for GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) in our food and farming. This is alarming because it would expose us to dangerous and untested GM food. However, more than 18,000 people have signed Nandita Das’s petition asking for this Bill to be withdrawn. And we want the Chairperson of the Standing Committee to know this.  This Friday, before the deadline ends, we will meet the Chairperson of the Standing Committee that will review the BRAI Bill. We will submit this petition with all the signatures to him. We want him to know that there is growing public pressure demanding the withdrawal of the Bill.  Thousands of citizens have protested and taken action on ground and online in the last few days. We even delivered a symbolic GM-free Indian national flag to the Prime Minister’s office before Independence day.  Now, it is time to put one last effort in strengthening our voices against the BRAI Bill and dangerous GMOs. We need at least 30,000 signatures on the petition to showcase public support.  Kanav, help us get 30,000 signatures before the deadline this Friday. Forward my mail to your friends and family and ask them to sign the petition. Every signature and step will count.  Thank you for joining this fight for safe food in India.  Kavitha Kuruganti PS : Share this petition on Facebook and Twitter asking your friends to sign.
