Friend, right now, people are picking food grown with TOXIC PESTICIDES off store shelves to feed their children and family members. They might not know that these chemicals have been linked to cancer, learning disabilities, hormone disruption, and more!

Imagine spending your hard-earned money at the grocery store, carefully selecting fresh produce to create a nutritious meal for your family, only to later learn that the food might be contaminated with harmful pesticides. This is a reality that none of us should have to face.

Despite mounting evidence that toxic pesticides are harmful to people and the planet, Kroger, one of the nation’s largest grocery retailers, continues to sell pesticide-contaminated food to its customers. Rather than commit to selling more sustainably grown, healthy, and organic foods and shifting away from toxic pesticides, Kroger continues to prioritize profit over the well-being of people like you and me.

We need your voice to be heard, Friend. Kroger is having its Annual General Meeting in just a few months when it will make important decisions -- NOW is a critical time to make your voice heard! Friend, please demand Kroger stop selling food grown with TOXIC PESTICIDES and protect the health of families across the country by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

Glyphosate, a chemical found in many foods, has been linked to severe health impacts. A recent study found that 80% of U.S. children and adults had traces of glyphosate in their bodies. That’s a staggering figure -- and children are especially vulnerable to pesticide health impacts.

It doesn’t have to be this way, Friend. Our food can be produced without toxic pesticides sustainably and at-scale, protecting our health and the health of our planet. We need YOU to help push Kroger to act! If just 1 of every 8 people reading this email takes action, we can send Kroger a POWERFUL MESSAGE before its meeting this spring. Act now and FIGHT toxic pesticides!

Standing with you,
