To: FCWPP Activists, The following recommendation arose from the Local Responses to Global Challenges Working Group and has been approved by the Legislative and Executive Committees. I-522 is the measure on this November's ballot that would require labeling of food containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs). "As members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) bearing witness to public policy in Washington State, we are called to support Initiative 522 out of our ongoing commitment to truth and integrity. I-522 calls for labeling of foods containing genetically-engineered ingredients, commonly known as GMOs, or “genetically-modified organisms.” Transparency in labeling simply allows people to make better informed choices about something as fundamental as the food they eat. Such integrity reflects our long held values in commercial transactions." Local Responses to Global Challenges Working Group and Legislative Committee
