Please use this form to urge your member of the US House of Representatives to cosponsor the “Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act.”
This bill would require the FDA to add alpha-gal to the list of major food allergens. If it passes, disclosing alpha-gal on the label of most packaged foods will be required.

Completely agree.
We cannot let space be made for hate of any kind. Here. Where we live. Against people we love (and maybe especially against those not in our own circles).
Listen for dehumanization of others. It's a warning sign.
