County Council Endorses Boycott of Driscoll's

January 27, 2025

The County Council of the Green Party of Santa Cruz has unanimously endorsed a boycott against Driscoll's. Spearheaded by the Campaign for Organic & Regenerative Agriculture (CORA), this initiative aims to urge Driscoll's to discontinue the use of harmful pesticides, particularly in areas close to schools. These chemicals have been linked to severe health risks, including brain cancer in children.

For more information on the boycott and its objectives, visit the CORA website.

• Avoid Purchasing Driscoll's Products: This includes all Driscoll's items, even those labeled organic.

• Spread the Word: Encourage friends and family to join the boycott.

• Communicate with Local Grocers: Inform them of your decision to avoid Driscoll's products.

• Sign the Petition: Add your voice to the demand for Driscoll's to transition to organic farming near schools by signing the petition here.

This collective effort seeks to safeguard children's health and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Join the cause and make a difference today.
