Hi All The NY Assembly Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection has decided to hold a hearing on July 30th for GMO Labeling Bill A3525-A, Sponsored by Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal. It will be held on the Lehman College Campus in the Bronx, NY, at 10 am. Public transportation and on-site parking are available. Details are here: http://
Date: July 30, 2013 Time: 10 am -- ???
Place: Lehman College
East Dining Room
250 Bedford Park Blvd West
Bronx, NY
It is incredibly important that we fill the seats of this room with GMO labeling advocates from New York. Can you help us make this hearing a standing room only event and garner it the attention our bill deserves by joining us at Lehman College on July 30th? Also, even if you can't attend, you can help by spreading this news. The posting on the GMO Free NY Facebook page can be seen here: on.fb.me/13wjwSK. Please feel free to copy and share or modify this post or what is written here in any way. But please do share it with as many social media outlets, email lists, friends, colleagues, and organizations you know.
And, ALERT YOUR LOCAL MEDIA!!! Our showing MUST impress the committee so that when the bill's sponsor -- Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal -- reintroduces the bill at the start of the next legislative session in January 2014, it is immediately voted upon and moved through the Assembly to a floor vote. (And then hopefully the Senate will do the same!)
Oral testimony is by invitation only, but written testimony can be submitted and sent no later than August 5th to:
Matt Aumand
Committee Assistant
Assembly Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection
Room 513 - Capitol
Albany, New York 12248
Email: aumandm@assembly.state.ny.
We urge you to send in written testimony!
We all need to stand together on this if we want GMO labeling in NYS to be a reality. Thank you for your support and help! Let's fill all of these seats with our people!!!
Best,
Stacie and Kat
