Coalition
There’s a coalition of groups supporting AB 125 Here’s their website: https://www.voteforyourfood.org/
A while ago I had a list of supporters pulled from that website, each organization linked to its own page. There are many more supporters now, and I’m not willing to put in the time to track down all those links and add them here. Sorry. 😦
