GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING & ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITIES

Food & Water Watch is a leading national consumer advocacy organization that runs dynamic, cutting edge campaigns that challenge the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources, empower people to take action, and transform the public consciousness about what we eat and drink. Check out our website at www.foodandwaterwatch.org for more information. One of our current campaigns, Let Me Decide, is working to pass state legislation in Florida requiring the labeling of genetically engineered products. Genetically engineered food is food that has been genetically engineered in laboratories to

splice genes from one species and inject them into another. The FDA does not require genetically engineered foods to be labeled, and so consumers have been in the dark since the 90’s as to the contents of their food. Here in Florida, there are field studies being done to genetically engineer our oranges to have pesticides inside of them! We need to build the support necessary to pass a bill that will require genetically engineered labeling on all food products and produce. Volunteer opportunities include: lobbying, event planning, visibility, etc. If you are interested in learning more and getting involved, contact Talya Tavor at 847.997.0564 or ttavor@fwwlocal.org.

with Kountché, he was imprisoned on trumped up charges

and forced to spend extended time in solitary confinement.

Upon Kountché’s death, incoming President Ali Saibou

released and officially pardoned him. He then embarked on a

long and eventful career of service in international

development. Sidikou has served as an education specialist

for UNICEF and the World Bank throughout Africa and the

Middle East and, most recently, as country director for Save

the Children in Rwanda and the Congo. Based on his

distinguished career in international development, the

Government of Niger appointed him its ambassador to the

United States in 2011.
