Hi,

Monarch butterflies are going extinct because of companies like
Bayer-Monsanto.

Bayer-Monsanto products, like Roundup, contain toxic chemicals that are
killing the natural habitats and food sources of the monarch.^1
Bayer-Monsanto has wreaked havoc on the environment, public health, and
wildlife for years — corporations are taking so much from us, just so they
can rack up record profits and increase executive pay. Congress must
investigate Bayer-Monsanto for its threats to the Monarch Butterfly and
other endangered species.

Bayer-Monsanto!

ADD YOUR NAME

Monsanto has a history of destroying the environment and making people
sick. In 2020, the mega-corporation agreed to pay over $10 billion dollars
to 95,000 people alleging Roundup caused their cancer.^2 In 2021, Monsanto
pleaded guilty to thirty environmental crimes related to the use of a
pesticide on corn fields in Hawaii.^3

Monsanto has preyed on smaller farms across the country with lawsuits and
genetically modified seeds. The corporation has sued more than 800 family
farms and driven dozens to bankruptcy after accusing farms of stealing
their dubiously patented seeds after a process known as "genetic
contamination.”^4 Monsanto took over agriculture and devastated crop
yields on millions of acres of family farms.^5

A corporation inflicting this much damage should not be allowed to
continue lining their wealthy pockets at the expense of so many people,
animals, and natural habitats. We can’t let Bayer-Monsanto take the
beautiful, fluttering Monarch Butterfly from us too.

too late to save the Monarch Butterfly from extinction!

Thanks for taking action,
