The movement was founded by Tami Canal in response to the failure of California Proposition 37, a ballot initiative that would have required labeling food products made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Advocates support mandatory labeling laws for food made from GMOs and oppose what they and others call the "Monsanto Protection Act", a policy rider found in the Farmer Assurance Provision.[2][3][4]
On May 25, 2013, hundreds of thousands[5][6] of supporters marched or rallied. Events took place in between 330[4] and 436[6] cities around the world, mostly in the United States.[4] Canal said that the movement would continue its "anti-GMO cause" beyond the initial event.[6]
