Coalitions and Partnerships
Safe Food Coalition
STOP is an active member of the Safe Food Coalition. The Safe Food Coalition was formed in January of 1987 in order to seek action on the 1985 National Academy of Sciences report, “Meat and Poultry Inspection: The Scientific Basis of the Nation’s Program.” In the ensuing years the coalition has worked to educate the public about the hazards of foodborne illness and sought Congressional and Administrative action to improve meat and poultry safety as well as seafood, produce and other foods regulated by both USDA and FDA. The Safe Food Coalition is an informal group of consumer, public health, whistleblower, and labor organizations that holds regular meetings in Washington DC. Before the Safe Food Coalition takes a position on any issue or submits testimony, a statement is circulated to all associated groups. Representatives of the groups edit the paper and negotiate differences that may arise. When agreement is reached, the statement or testimony is re-circulated for sign- off by the groups and it is understood that the statement then represents the position of the groups that sign it.

Civil Justice Foundation The Civil Justice Foundation is a national charitable organization dedicated to safeguarding justice for all Americans by strengthening the alliance between trial attorneys and consumer advocacy groups. The Foundation was founded in 1986 by members of the American Association for Justice (formerly ATLA) and a group of consumer advocates who believed that all Americans - particularly working families, individual workers, and consumers - deserve unobstructed access to the civil justice system. It is the only national foundation devoted solely to protecting the individual rights, health, and well-being of the injured - providing small but significant grants to the tireless organizations fighting for injury prevention and justice preservation across the country. Since its inception, CJF has awarded over $1.4 million to 112 consumer advocacy organizations throughout North America. By providing a voice to the voiceless, these pioneering groups seek to preserve the constitutional rights afforded to all Americans by the civil justice system. STOP is honored to be among the Civil Justice Foundation’s grant recipients. For more information the grant from The Civil Justice Foundation visit http://www.civiljusticefoundation.org/grants.html |
