John,

Bayer-Monsanto just launched a terrifying new propaganda
campaign, alongside 60 other industry giants, to rebrand glyphosate as
“totally safe.”

The pesticide giant is in hot water thanks to countless lawsuits alleging
that Roundup caused cancer and other horrific health consequences. It’s
just wracked up 3 consecutive losses, owing millions in damages,
bringing glyphosate's reputation to a crisis point.

They’re hoping a monstrous PR push will allow them to take back the
narrative, pushing the public (and elected officials!) to forget all the
independent science.

Our movement has worked too hard for too long to let them get away with
it. So we’re ready to launch a massive counter-lobby, taking out ads,
installing billboards, and launching a PR campaign of our own to get
stories all over the media exposing just how dangerous glyphosate is.

We’re ready to go, but need the funds to make it possible. Can you help?

It’s shocking that glyphosate has been allowed to remain the most widely
used pesticide on the planet for so long.

We know just how dangerous it is. It’s decimating our pollinators and soil
health. It’s been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. And a new bombshell
report just exposed that it’s harmful to adolescent brain function.

Bayer-Monsanto keeps producing junk science reports that claim it’s
actually safe…while sinking unlimited funds in its legal defense and
ruthlessly lobbying our governments to keep their profits coming. 

But Bayer’s CEO just said all the litigation is “a huge burden” on its
profits. So now they’re trying a new strategy – sink massive resources
into a PR push to rebrand this poison as safe and effective. 

We have to fight back with a major lobbying effort of our own, or Bayer
will easily win the messaging war…wiping out years of work by our movement
and so many others. 

Our almost 23 MILLION strong movement is perfectly positioned to beat them
at their own game – our megaphone will allow us to drown out their
propaganda and finally get glyphosate out of our parks, farms and food. 

Let’s do this, together:
