Mothers for Natural Law Mothers for Natural Law was founded in June 1996 to transform the overwhelming problems facing families into simple, practical action steps every mother can take to safeguard the health, well-being and innocence of her children. Our agenda originally embraced everything from the environment to crime, education, health and the economy. However, because of its extreme urgency, we made genetic engineering our only focus for our first four years, and put all of our other plans on hold.

In July 1996, Mothers for Natural Law launched a national public awareness campaign on the dangers of genetically engineered foods, and an initiative to secure rigorous pre-market safety testing, mandatory labeling and a moratorium on these foods. In just one year the organization became a nationally recognized clearinghouse on the issue, working closely with industry and consumers alike to create financially viable, environmentally responsible solutions to the challenges the issue raised for all of us.
