Friend — imagine flying over 3,000 miles to Mexico, traveling at about 50 miles a day without knowing where you can stop to rest or where your next meal will come from. Right now, brave and magnificent monarch butterflies have completed their epic migration south, where they’ll remain for the winter. When these fascinating creatures return, they will search for milkweed plants to reproduce and lay their offspring. These vital plants also act as the only food source for the little caterpillars before they spread their iconic black and orange wings as adult butterflies.

Sadly, at least 850 MILLION milkweed plants have vanished over the last 20 years, contributing to the devastating loss of 90% of the North American monarch during the same period. That’s because monarchs cannot survive without this essential vegetation.

Experts are pointing to glyphosate — the active ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto’s flagship product Roundup and the most widely used herbicide in the world — as a key driver for the decimation of milkweed. So, Friend, the solution is clear: If we want to SAVE the dwindling monarch butterfly population → we must replenish milkweed. If we want to replenish milkweed → we must stop the rampant use of Roundup. Will you take urgent action right now and tell Bayer-Monsanto to STOP selling toxic Roundup before our planet’s precious monarchs are wiped out for good?

Losing precious pollinators like monarch butterflies could have drastic consequences for our planet’s ecosystems, including disrupting our food supply. But there are also direct risks that Roundup poses to human health. Glyphosate has been linked to cancer, reproductive harms, and other serious medical issues in people. And children are the most vulnerable!

If you didn’t think it could get any worse, think again, Friend. Rather than address the data and adjust its practices, Bayer-Monsanto has instead been caught intentionally deceiving the public by manipulating science and obstructing pesticide regulations. In other words, this greedy pesticide corporation has actively pushed Roundup on to customers for the sake of profit — even though they KNOW it isn’t safe for people, pollinators, or the planet!

Bayer-Monsanto MUST be held accountable for its dangerous deceit and lies that are threatening our Earth and its living beings! But we need YOUR voice today if we’re going to fight back against the powerful pesticide industry. Please don’t let our planet down, Friend. TAKE ACTION NOW: Add your name to demand that Bayer-Monsanto END the production of Roundup immediately! >>

Thanks for speaking up for monarch butterflies and our planet,
Friends of the Earth
