                  Dear Members and Friends,



                  I am writing to let you know of an historic effort to bring about the proper labeling of foods containing GMOs and to urge each of you to participate in it! An unprecedented coalition of individuals, organizations, and business from all over the country is coalescing to demand full transparency in food labeling. This effort will kick off next month with a Right2Know March, a 16-day march from New York City to the White House in Washington, D.C., October 1 through 16. 



                  Will you add the good will of your body, soul, and spirit to this historic event and assert your right to choose what is in your food? To choose what you wish to purchase and ingest? To choose what kind of agriculture you wish to support? 



                  We believe that the biodynamic movement has an essential role to play in this coalition and in the Right2Know March. The Biodynamic Association has joined this coalition as a partner and as a sponsor of the march. I will be present at the launch of the march in New York City, and Rebecca Briggs, our communications coordinator, will be there for the culmination in Washington, DC. 



                  We would love to see members and friends of the Association participate in every stage of the march or support it in other ways - for example by hosting marchers in your homes, by putting out information about biodynamics at the many different stops along the way, or by helping to spread the word about the march and GMO issues in general. We would love to keep a list of members who do get involved in the march and collect articles and blog posts of your experiences.



                  Please visit the Right2Know site for all the details and information, and please contact Rebecca (rebecca at biodynamics.com) to let her know if you plan to participate. Check in with us on our Facebook page and our blog for updates on the march as it happens, and on the further efforts that will be undertaken by this coalition following the march to insure our Right2Know what is in our food!



                  In solidarity, 



                   



                  Executive Director
