Supermarket Campaign: Tabling and Public Education

The supermarket is an excellent location for educating people about genetically engineered foods and motivating action.
You can hand out information about the dangers of GE food, collect petition and postcard signatures, and have the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping to get the word out to many people who are hungry for information.
Quite a few people will probably thank you for your work and for offering them ways to oppose and avoid GE food. There are always those who aren’t interested or disagree, but they’re in a small minority. Just move on to the next person!

What to Bring:
  • SOS Food flyers (invite interested people to come to meetings)

  • Fact sheets on dangers of GE food and crops

  • GE Resource List

  • Food Emporium postcards (Filled out on-site if possible. Count total and send)

  • Food Agenda Petition (please return completed ones to SOS Food)

  • Any other key action mail-ins

  • Pens

  • Paperweights or rocks to hold down papers in the wind

  • Clipboard (for petitions)

  • A jar for donations (for copying, postage, materials)

  • Light-weight folding card table
Tips:
Try to set up during high pedestrian traffic hours to maximize your impact. If anyone from the supermarket, or a local police officer, asks you to move or stop, politely tell them you’re exercising your First Amendment Rights and educating the public about an important issue. If the police insist, you may need to move to the curb of the street. Typically they won’t bother you.

 Have fun! Feel free to check in with SOS Food folks anytime.
