ACTION NEEDED: Push back on the pesticide industry

Friend,

What if the company behind a cancer-linked weedkiller could also decide what protections your community has against toxic pesticides?

That’s exactly what’s happening right now with glyphosate.

Bayer-Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, is spending millions to lobby lawmakers to block state and local pesticide safety laws.

If they succeed, communities could lose their ability to set stronger protections, and Bayer could be shielded from lawsuits.

That means decisions about pesticide use in your neighborhood could be dictated by weaker federal rules – even when local leaders want to offer more protections for people.

That puts those most at risk in even greater danger, including:

Bayer is sinking large sums of money to weaken pesticide protections and avoid accountability.

This is about power and profits – not people.

When corporations spend millions to influence policy, public voices need to speak up even more. Your response will help guide our fight to protect the right of communities to defend their health from toxic exposures.

Can you take 30 seconds to share your thoughts before midnight tonight?

Thank you for your response, friend. Your voice on this issue matters.
