Anonymous,

The EPA just prohibited companies from putting warning labels on pesticides containing glyphosate, the main active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup.1

As consumers, we have the right to know if using a product could put us at risk, but the EPA's new decision will keep vital information from all of us.

Tell the EPA to require warning labels on products containing glyphosate -- not forbid them.

Glyphosate is classified by the World Health Organization's cancer agency as a "probable carcinogen."2 It's irresponsible for the agency tasked with protecting us from harm to keep important health warnings out of the hands of consumers.

As the evidence mounts that glyphosate is linked to cancer, it's more important than ever to get it off of store shelves and out of the environment. It's past time to ban Roundup until and unless it's proven safe. But as long as it remains on the shelf, consumers have the right to know that glyphosate is dangerous.

If you agree that consumers should be warned about probable carcinogens take action today.

Glyphosate is everywhere: Our research partners tested 20 beer and wine samples and found that glyphosate has made its way into many products that we consume.3 Across the world, enough glyphosate is used every year to spray nearly half a pound of this dangerous chemical on every single acre of cultivated land.4

U.S. PIRG and our national network have mobilized tens of thousands of people to call for bans on glyphosate nationwide. As we keep working towards a ban, we also need to hold the EPA accountable and make sure it places vital warnings on products that pose deadly risks to consumers.

We have the right to know about products that can harm us and our families. Add your name today.

Thank you,

Faye Park
