The EU is on the verge of handing Bayer and other GMO
(genetically modified organisms) giants their biggest win in
decades: erasing the very rules that require GMOs to be
labelled and tracked. If they succeed, Bayer and other
corporate giants get what they’ve always wanted: the power
to reshape our food system in secret, while stripping us of our
right to choose.
Genetically modified foods could quietly flood our supermarket
shelves, fields, and plates – with no labels and no way for us to
choose what we eat or feed our families. This is corporate capture,
plain and simple. And it’s happening behind closed doors in
Brussels.
But here’s the good news: over 53,000 people have already
signed our petition to defend GMO labelling. Now, if enough
of us chip in, we could supercharge this campaign with
polling, ads, and more to break through the political
backrooms and force decision-makers to listen to us – not Bayer.
Our team is rapidly pulling together plans to fight on Bayer’s
turf, with bold, visible, people-powered pressure that politicians
can’t ignore.

Right now, when we go to the supermarket, we can quickly look at
labels to make informed choices about what you feed ourselves and
our families. Now imagine that overnight, the labels indicating
which products contain GMOs disappear.
Suddenly, GMO products – engineered and sold by giants like
Bayer – could flood our shelves, and we’ll have no way of knowing
what’s in our food.
That nightmare could soon be reality – and a huge step backward
for food safety and transparency. And once these protections are
gone, they’ll be nearly impossible to win back. But together, we can
still stop this.
Insiders say that the EU Parliament wants to protect our right to
know what’s in our food. But our governments are buckling to Bayer’s
pressure, which is why we’re gearing up to launch tactics
like:
- Escalate this fight online by taking out ads
targeting key MEPs, EU Commissioners, and party leaders on social
media – mobilizing citizens to flood their feeds with
comments, tags, and messages until they can’t look away;
- Commission headline-making evidence that the
public wants transparency, including an EU-wide poll proving
overwhelming support for GMO labelling;
- Unleash a series of bold visuals, poster
actions, and street projections in Brussels, Strasbourg, and
Copenhagen – right outside EU offices and government
ministries – to keep up the pressure in the streets as well as
online.
This is a fight for our basic right to know what we eat, grow,
and feed our children. Bayer and its allies want to make that choice
for us. But if thousands of us come together now, we can make sure
our voices are louder than their lobbyists.

We’ve beaten GMO giants before – from stopping toxic pesticides
to winning protections from their harmful products. Every time,
people power helped turn the tide. Together, let’s do it
again.
