Dear John ,

For the second year in a row, the number of monarch butterflies counted in the
West has hit a record low.

A key driver of monarch decline is Monsanto’s Roundup®. This toxic pesticide is
also harming bees. And it’s putting our health at risk.

If we want a livable planet, we must demand that corporations like
Bayer-Monsanto stop producing this poison. This month Big Ag company Dow
announced it would stop selling chlorpyrifos. This came after people like you
pushed states across the U.S. and countries across the world to ban this
brain-damaging pesticide. Now we need your help to ramp up pressure on
Bayer-Monsanto before it’s too late for pollinators and our planet!

environment!

Roundup® has no place in our planet’s ecosystem. It’s a double-edged sword that
threatens both people and monarch butterflies.

Monarchs have declined by more than 97% in the west, and their populations have
decreased by 90% overall in the last 20 years. This decline occurred as the use
of Roundup® skyrocketed, killing milkweed -- the main food source for baby
monarchs. Roundup® use jumped from only 11 million pounds in 1987 to nearly 200
million pounds in 2016.

It’s no wonder these butterflies are in decline. But with these critical
pollinators and other insects facing extinction, scientists warn we could soon
see the “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems.”

Roundup® is also linked to cancer. Right now more than 40,000 people are suing
Bayer-Monsanto, alleging that Roundup® contributed to their cancer. In every
case that has been decided so far, the judge has agreed with the cancer
patients.

There is no excuse for Bayer-Monsanto to continue selling this pesticide. No
excuse, that is, besides its greed and desire to profit at the expense of our
health and environment. We need your help pushing Bayer-Monsanto to change
course.

Protect people and pollinators: Tell Bayer-Monsanto to stop selling Roundup®!

To protect people, our planet, and our environment, we must end the use of
Roundup®. It’s linked to cancer in people and it's harming our environment by
driving butterfly and bee die-offs.

We must send a loud and clear message to Bayer-Monsanto that it must stop
selling Roundup®.

People and pollinators are counting on you: Demand Bayer-Monsanto stop selling
cancer-causing Roundup®!
