Demand the California EPA stop the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes!

BILLIONS OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED MOSQUITOES COULD BE RELEASED IN CALIFORNIA IN 2024. But there have been no publically available independent studies showing that these insects are safe, and there are currently no regulations in place to address GE insects. Plus, the company behind the release, Oxitec, has kept most of its data hidden from the public. Yet, this mosquito experiment could move forward without any public consent!

Genetically engineered mosquitoes are intended to suppress a specific type of wild mosquito that often carries diseases such as Zika and dengue. But California doesn’t even have these diseases and there are less risky, proven ways to control mosquito populations. There is no excuse for GE mosquitoes to be released in California.

Tell the California EPA to say NO to this massive GE mosquito experiment!
