10,000 Voices: It’s Time to Take Action to Stop the Gene Tech Bill

We can only stop this bill by taking action—all of us, right now! We urgently need your voice to make a difference. Our goal is ambitious but achievable: over 10,000 submissions to show Parliament that Kiwis won’t stand for GE deregulation.

Our GE-Free Future Activation Toolkit is your guide to protecting New Zealand’s environment, economy, and food system from the risks of genetic engineering. It’s packed with practical tools to help you:

• Stay informed: Watch this video + find out why the Gene Tech Bill needs to be stopped (find out more)

• Have your say closing date for submissions is 11.59 pm on Monday, 17 February 2025 (make a submission)

• Write to your MP or local newspaper with confidence and impact (view templates for writing to your MP + newspaper editor)

• Spark conversations in your community to raise awareness.

• Share vital information online to spread the word fast (share our content from Facebook or Instagram)

Every action counts, but we need all hands on deck. Together, we can keep GE where it belongs—in the lab, not in our environment.

Don’t wait. Take action today and be part of the movement to secure a GE-free future for Aotearoa.
