Please support GMWatch in its battle to counter the massive deceptive propaganda campaign of the biotech industry.

According to John Stauber, the founder of PR Watch, "The genetic engineering industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars on global PR, marketing, lobbying and buying-off of politicians. Sustaining the work of GMWatch is essential to countering this corporate political power and propaganda."

We're not asking for hundreds of millions of dollars! But we do need your support to maintain and expand our campaigning news and research service. Please give what you can (suggested subscription 40 USD or 25 GBP per year. Please give more if you can) to help GMWatch keep punching above its weight!

What they say about GMWatch:

"GMWatch is the only place where all the relevant, global information that anti-GM campaigners need to have at their finger tips is available. Without GMWatch, campaigns against GM worldwide would be immeasurably weaker." – Peter Melchett, Policy Director, the Soil Association, England

"GMWatch is simply indispensable. I consult it every day and I recommend it to all our subscribers as the best way to stay on top of the GMO issue around the world." – Jeffrey M. Smith, bestselling author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette. Executive Director, Institute for Responsible Technology, USA

"GMWatch literally brings the global community together in the fight against GMOs and the corporate takeover of our food systems. The way GMWatch shares information is one of the most effective tools against the divide-and-rule tactics and spin operations used by the biotech juggernaut. GMWatch is also on the ball when it comes to promoting alternatives and the emerging consensus on the need for agro ecological solutions. It's always my first port of call." – Kirtana Chandrasekaran, Friends of the Earth International Food Sovereignty Coordinator

"GMWatch is invaluable. We consider it to be the major database and up-to-date counter-information source, effectively opposing the sophisticated million-dollar pro-GM propaganda machine worldwide." – Vassilis Gkisakis, BiotechWatch moderator, Greece

"GMWatch has caused so much trouble that, in 2008, its website suffered a series of orchestrated attacks, the last of which brought down its data bank, the heart of its activities, with the intention of making it impossible to go on with its work. With a lot of hard work, courage and determination, and the help of supporters and sympathizers, it stood up again and is now once more in full activity. It deserves full support for the excellent work it's doing." – Ralph L. M. Miller, Director, Associação dos Consumidores de Produtos Org'nicos do Paraná Curitiba, Brazil

"As a physician, public health educator, and food safety activist who has worked at the local and national level on issues relevant to genetically modified crops and biopharming, I would like to attest to the tremendously high value I place upon the work of GMWatch. Their weekly reports have been invaluable in helping me to put together everything from lectures, to policy papers, to op-eds. They present all the relevant science and policy articles in one handy review and are a trusted and reliable source." – Martin Donohoe, MD, FACP, Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Community Health, Portland  State University. Senior Physician, Internal Medicine, Kaiser Sunnyside    Medical Center. Chief Science Advisor, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility's Campaign for Safe Food, 1992-2011, USA

"Looking back over the 6 years since I co-filled a public interest Writ petition in India's Supreme Court for a moratorium on GM crops, it is noteworthy that the single most-quoted source of data provided in evidence has been GMWatch. GMWatch have consistently provided references to all data and given painstaking background links to historical material. I continue to be staggered by the huge effort this implies, including the management and organisation of data." – Aruna Rodrigues, co-petitioner in the public interest lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court of India for a moratorium on GM crops

"GMWatch is the main library and memory bank for the world GMO debate. It is open for everyone and it is friendly to everyone." – Akiko Frid, a former housewife who became a GMO activist, working with consumers and environmental organizations in Japan and in Europe. Currently a co-ordinator of the GMO-free zone movement in Sweden

"I use GMWatch and its sister sites to find information not usually accessible in the mainstream media about the corporate subversion of our democratic processes in food matters. I admire the thoroughness of its contributors' research and the careful measured approach to important issues. True social scientists at work." – Rev Paul Cawthorne, Shropshire, England
