Congress is about to vote on a new Farm Bill, which could be the first to include fair funding for organics. But to make this happen, our Representatives need to hear from us!

Act now. Add your name to the Grow Organics petition and join the fight for pesticide-free produce. EWG Action Fund's goal is 30,000 signatures by July 15. Tell Congress to vote for organics.

 I support EWG Action Fund's efforts to increase funding for organic farming.

I believe Congress should level the playing field for organic farmers to expand access to safe, healthy organic food that is free of potentially harmful pesticides and genetic modification.  I urge our national leaders to include strong organics provisions in this year's Farm Bill that will:

Give organic farmers their fair share of my tax dollars for research on how to grow organic food. Help more farmers make the transition to organic farming. Level the playing field for the organic industry by devoting a fair share of resources to organic pest control and crop nourishment.

I stand with the EWG Action Fund in urging Congress to Grow Organics now.
