chemicals symbol
John,
Bayer-Monsanto is thrilled. The EU just greenlit glyphosate for another
decade – that’s 10 more years of the poison blanketing our planet.
We have to do something – and fast. Here’s the plan:
Our partners at Pesticide Action Network (PAN) are working around the
clock to file a lawsuit against the European Commission, arguing it didn’t
follow the law when granting the new license. And they’ve come to us to
urgently help raise the funds to do it.
If enough of us chip in, we can make this the biggest people-powered
lawsuit in history – will you join in to stop glyphosate?

Glyphosate is everywhere. It blankets our crops and contaminates our
playgrounds – it’s so prevalent that NONE of us can escape it. In a study
last year, the herbicide was found in a shocking 87% of children’s urine!
We know just how dangerous this poison is. It has been linked to
non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A new bombshell report just exposed that it’s
harmful to adolescent brain function. Since it’s also an antibiotic, new
research reveals it can affect the gut health of humans and other species,
potentially leading to serious diseases. And it’s decimating our
pollinators and soil health.
PAN Europe’s lawsuit will argue that by renewing glyphosate’s license, the
EU failed to take into account all the independent evidence showing how
glyphosate could cause harm to the public or the environment. The
scientific evidence can’t be ignored.
It’s a case we know we can win, but we need your help to do it. Will you
join this people-powered lawsuit to save our planet from glyphosate?

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 and the Ekō team
