John,
This is HUGE!
EU countries just failed to re-approve cancer-causing, bee-killing
glyphosate for another 10 years…but we’re not out of the woods yet.
Another vote is just *FOUR DAYS* away, and Bayer’s lobbyists have doubled
down, unleashing an unprecedented lobbying effort to strong-arm the EU
into greenlighting their poison.
But if we launch a massive people’s lobbying effort of our own to keep
France and Germany from voting ‘yes’, we can ensure the next vote gets
glyphosate off our shelves.
We’re urgently raising the funds to run rapid response ads in key
newspapers, demanding leaders in France and Germany listen to the people,
not the pesticide giants. Can you chip in to stop glyphosate for good?

Glyphosate makers say it’s safe, but a new bombshell report just exposed
that it’s harmful to adolescent brain function. This is on top of study
after study showing that it causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. And the
scariest part is that it's everywhere – it’s been found in the food we
eat, the textiles we touch, and even the dust in our homes.
While last week’s vote was a big blow to pesticide lobbyists hoping for a
quick re-approval, the ‘no’ votes were not strong enough to stop
glyphosate from getting greenlit altogether. So, countries will vote again
next month to see if they can come to a decision.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. If we don’t win this fight, it could mean
another DECADE of shocking amounts of the pesticide sprayed across our
fields and parks. And what happens in Europe will have a domino effect in
the rest of the world.
If 5,000 of us chip in, we can launch our own people’s lobbying push –
exposing Bayer’s outrageous lobbying efforts to the media, targeting key
decision-makers by name in key newspapers, and showing massive public
opposition to another 10 years of glyphosate blanketing our planet.
We don’t have much time before the next vote – can you help us get
glyphosate banned in Europe once and for all?

People-powered campaigns have triumphed against this poison in the past.
And we can do it again – if our community comes together like never
before.
Thanks for all that you do,
Allison, Eoin and the Ekō team
