> We will meet at Christ Lutheran Church, across from the State Capitol, at 1 p.m. to learn how to effectively converse with your legislators on this issue. Then we’ll walk to the Capitol to meet with our legislators from both the House and Senate.
>

After signing up, you’ll be taken to a page where you can make your donation. Please note, no one will be turned away for not being able to contribute!
>
> After signing up, stop by our Facebook and Twitter pages. During GMO Action Week, we’ll post daily action items. Please help us spread the word and share these posts with your networks.
