By and for the People organization submitted a response to APHIS's Proposed Exemptions: Movement of Organisms Modified or Produced through Genetic Engineering. The public comment period was extended three times (a little insight). Our response has yet to be recorded and published online, but it's only a matter of time until it's made accessible to the public to view.
Get a first look and read our response to APHIS here.
Comment Period Ended: Jul 21, 2025 for responding to "advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has prepared a revised draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and revised draft plant pest risk assessment (PPRA) evaluating the potential environmental impacts and plant pest risk that may result from the approval of a petition for nonregulated status for blight-tolerant American chestnut.

Dear community, With Joe Biden's administration recently claiming to have conserved 674 million acres, I urgently write this message with great concern for the future of the United States and humanity. For 12 years, I have followed our federal government's actions on the topic of biotechnology in our food and public lands in the name of "climate change." The goal of this organization is to start public communication on those federal efforts that are underway and that are currently receiving billions in funding.
Hi folks, Here I am questioning the system with this Public Communication Test.
I have spoken with many lawmakers, senators, and congressmen. 100% of the people I have contacted are unaware of these federal efforts and are surprised by them.
Today's regulatory decision on Genetic Editing will allow biotechnology to be released without being recorded or labeled. Modified plants can be referred to as "GMO-Free." as "this technique is capable by conventional breeding" It is up to the producer to determine its classification of regulation!
US Forest requested guidance on "proposed management in forest practices."
US Forest Service asks the public for Environmental concerns about new management practices, and By and for the People respond
New NEPA Rules Will mandate the use of biotechnology in public lands and go into effect on July 1st. The "Special Session" is our only chance to get lawmakers to take action against this federal overreach!
