An advocacy group dedicated to promoting a healthy and sustainable food system for all people and the planet, through holistic and systemic policy action.

They continue to support and promote the FoPL warning labels, including a 'junk food day of the dead' to celebrate their success in getting warning labels put on food packages.
Intimidation tactics continue, especially via social media. There is always the risk that the regulations will be revoked

El Poder gathered the scientific evidence for warning labels and this is available on their labelling website + took this evidence to judges to show their effectiveness.
They also gathered letters of support from the international community, including UN bodies.

So what did they do?
- they produced two documentaries uncovering the role of industry in food regulation in Mexico & the impact on health (available with English subtitles)
- projected 'excess interference' onto the Coca-Cola headquarters in Mexico (lots of media attention)
