BREAKING NEWS: Newly published secret documents show that the EU isn't
following its own pesticide laws.
This explosive evidence could help us win a legal challenge – and with our
partners officially heading to court over the EU's decision to reapprove
glyphosate, they need all the help they can get.
John, can you rush a donation to stop glyphosate?

2.5 million signatures against the renewal of glyphosate
John,
Bayer-Monsanto is thrilled. The EU has 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.
They’ve come to us to quickly raise the funds to do it. Now if enough of
us chip in, we can make this the biggest people-powered lawsuit in
history!
Will you join in to stop glyphosate poisoning our planet?

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.
Can you chip in to build the biggest people-powered glyphosate lawsuit
ever?

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, Yasmin and the Ekō team
