Friend,

Belgium. Bermuda. The Netherlands. France. El Salvador. Colombia. Sri Lanka. Saudi Arabia. Kuwait. Qatar. Bahrain. Oman. United Arab Emirates.[1]

Every single one of these countries has banned or restricted the use of glyphosate, a probable human carcinogen according to the World Health Organization.[2]

It's time the United States does the same.

If a chemical could be dangerous to human health, why should we allow it on our crops, lawns, parks, and playgrounds? Donate today to support U.S. PIRG's efforts to ban Roundup across the country and other critical campaigns. Every single dollar makes all the difference.

The evidence linking Roundup to serious health problems, including cancer, is piling up. And that's bad news since Roundup is showing up everywhere, even in places it doesn't belong.[3]

Your gift today means we can work to ban Roundup and support our other critical campaigns like:

* Our antibiotics team who are organizing a vast network of health professionals -- including some of the top infectious disease experts in the nation -- who share our passion for preserving life-saving antibiotics. Our national network is making their voices heard through media outreach, state and federal government advocacy, and wherever we need to advocate for new solutions.

* Our PIRG Consumer Watchdog team who are advocating in state capitols and Washington, D.C., for laws that better protect our privacy and ensure that companies like Equifax keep our personal information safe. Our team is also working to end unfair corporate practices and expose dangerous products.

* Our Beyond Plastic team who are mobilizing supporters across the country to push for bans on polystyrene plastic foam -- what most of us call Styrofoam -- one of the worst forms of single-use plastic. Because nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute our communities and threaten our health for hundreds of years.

All of this crucial work is sustained by the generosity of our donors. Join them with a gift to U.S. PIRG now.
