[[link removed]]Let’s Drive Monsanto and the Poison Cartel’s Pesticides off the Market



Dear Supporter,



Through the haze of ongoing discouraging attacks on environmental and food
safety regulations, a few potential rays of hope recently shone through.

Your voices may not yet be moving our corporate lobbyist-owned politicians to
ban dangerous agricultural chemicals . . . but public pressure may be finally
driving at least a few corporations to stop marketing poisonous chemicals that
have contaminated our foods and environment.

Help us step up the pressure on Monsanto and the Poison Cartel! Donate today to
support consumer education, corporate campaigns and public interest
investigations into the pesticide industry.

[[link removed]]Last week, the manufacturer of chlorpyrifos announced it would stop making the
pesticide, widely used in food production despite causing neurological damage in
children.

Corteva Agriscience, spun off from DowDupont last year, made the announcement on
the same day that California made it illegal to sell chlorpyrifos.

Corteva called it a “business decision.”

But ever since federal lawmakers under the Obama administration passed a law to
ban chlorpyrifos—only to have the Trump administration overturn the ban—you and
millions of other conscious consumers have been steadily bombarding federal and
state lawmakers with petitions to get this dangerous chemical out of our food.

Reports also surfaced last week that Bayer, beleaguered by tens of thousands of
Roundup lawsuits, may stop retail sales of its lethal weedkiller as part of a
settlement deal.

The company, formerly Monsanto, also said it’s investing $5.6 billion to create
an alternative to Roundup.

It’s unclear what a Roundup alternative might look like, or what Corteva might
come up with to replace chlorpyrifos. Will they be better—or worse—than their
predecessors?

Those questions, plus the need to eliminate all toxic poisons from the food system, are why we can’t let up the pressure
anytime soon.

The consumer education and corporate campaigning you help us do, and the
one-of-a-kind investigative work by U.S. Right to Know—an organization we help
fund—is more critical than ever right now.

support consumer education, corporate campaigns and public interest
investigations into the pesticide industry.

[[link removed]]You may not always realize it. But you helped pressure these poison-makers to act.

The late activist and writer, Howard Zinn, once wisely said:

“We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process
of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the
world.”

Zinn was right.

Every petition you sign, every phone call you place, every donation you make . .
. when multiplied by millions of people . . . moves us closer to getting these
life-threatening chemicals out of your food.

We can’t do this work without you.

We need your help today. Please make a donation online, by mail or call our
office, details here.
