It will be held on the Lehman College Campus in the Bronx, NY, at 10 am. Details are here: <a href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/comm/Consumer/20130716/" target="_blank">http://assembly.state.ny.us/comm/Consumer/20130716/</a>. <br>
<br>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 spreading this news? The posting on the GMO Free NY Facebook page can be seen here: <a href="http://t.co/YJ8xrCGM2i" title="http://on.fb.me/13wjwSK" dir="ltr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>on.fb.me/13wjwSK</span><span></span></a>. Please<a href="http://t.co/YJ8xrCGM2i" title="http://on.fb.me/13wjwSK" dir="ltr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span><span></span></span></a> feel free to copy and share or modify in any way. But please do share all of this information with as many social media outlets, email lists, friends, colleagues, and organizations you know. 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!)<br>
<br>Testimony is by invitation only, but written testimony can be submitted and sent no later than August 5th to:<br><br>Matt Aumand<br>Committee Assistant<br>Assembly Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection<br>Room 513 - Capitol<br>

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!!!<br>
