Protect Consumers, Farmers, and the Planet

Help Protect Organic Integrity, Regenerative Farming, and the Future of Real Food

For more than two decades, the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) has been a trusted voice for consumers, farmers, and communities who believe in real food, healthy soil, and honest labels. Together with millions of supporters, we’ve helped advance organic standards, challenge misleading marketing, advocate for GMO transparency, and support a global transition toward regenerative agriculture.

Today, we need your help more than ever.

Like many nonprofits, OCA is facing a significant funding gap after the loss of a major long-term donor. At the same time, the threats to organic integrity, food safety, and public health are increasing, from pesticide drift and greenwashing to the rapid expansion of synthetic and ultra-processed foods.

Your Give to the Max Day gift ensures that OCA can continue the critical work that protects your food, your health, and the environment we all share.

Why This Work Matters Now

Food should nourish us. Labels should be honest. Farmers should be supported, not undermined. And soil, the foundation of life, must be protected for generations to come.

OCA works every day to bring these values to life by:

1. Protecting Organic Integrity

We hold regulators and certifiers accountable, defend strong organic standards, and expose weak or misleading practices that threaten consumer trust.

2. Advancing GMO Transparency & Pesticide Reduction

OCA has fought for decades to ensure consumers know what’s in their food — pushing for stronger GMO labeling, reduced pesticide exposure, and truthful marketing.

3. Educating Millions Through Organic Bytes & Action Alerts

Our educational tools empower families, farmers, and communities with reliable information on food safety, nutrition, and environmental health.

4. Supporting Regenerative Agriculture Around the World

Through our sister organization, Regeneration International, we work with more than 600 partner groups globally to restore ecosystems, improve soil health, and uplift small farmers.

5. Providing Hands-On Training Through Vía Orgánica

Our demonstration farm and school in Mexico teaches practical regenerative farming skills, supporting food sovereignty and climate resilience.

Every part of this work depends on grassroots support from people like you.

Your Gift Makes a Tangible Difference. Your tax-deductible donation today will help OCA:

• Keep pesticide and GMO transparency campaigns active

• Defend truth in labeling and expose greenwashing

• Maintain our far-reaching education programs

• Support farmers and communities working toward regenerative, local food systems

• Provide trustworthy information at a time when misinformation is rapidly spreading

• Protect public health through advocacy grounded in science and integrity

Whether you give $25, $50, $100, or more, your support has real impact.

This year has been incredibly challenging, but with your help, we can continue protecting consumers, uplifting farmers, and advocating for a food system rooted in health, transparency, and sustainability.

Your gift ensures that OCA’s work continues into 2025 and beyond.

Together, we can protect real food and strengthen the movement for organic and regenerative agriculture.

We remain fully independent so we can always put your health, your food, and your rights first.

That means you are the reason this work is possible.

If you’ve ever read Organic Bytes, shared one of our action alerts, or taken steps to choose healthier food for yourself or your family, you are already part of this movement.

Thank you.
