About this Petition Pledge

'Big Food' under scrutiny & agritech Monsanto may be first in line.

In preparing for their Monsanto inquiry, the DOJ wants to know how average people experience corporate control of the food system.

This week in Copenhagen, the agribusiness giant Monsanto won an award from global activists for being the worst corporate climate lobbyist on the planet. Now we have a chance to tell government officials here in the U.S. what we think about Monsanto and corporate control of our food.

Act Today» Send a short, personalized email by December 31, telling Department of Justice officials you're concerned that a few giant businesses like Monsanto have so much power over where your food comes from and how it's produced.

For the first time ever, DOJ officials are asking for stories about how corporate control of the food system affects average citizens. Maybe you don't feel like you're qualified to write to the Justice Department, or you feel like your voice wouldn't matter -- but you are and it does. This is our chance to tell them what's wrong.

It will take a little more time than the usual one-click action, but it will count far more.

This unprecedented chance for public input comes after thousands of activists like you got the attention of President Obama's antitrust chief, Christine Varney, calling on her to focus on the agricultural sector and start with the worst of the worst, Monsanto. Your comments to DOJ on corporate agriculture will be part of the official record, and will help to inform a series of hearings on the issue next year.

Email DOJ now» Submit your letter before the December 31 deadline. Use our template and fill in your own comment or story. The few minutes you take to customize your letter could help curb big business's power over our food!

Thank you for making a difference.
