We can’t afford to miss this opportunity, friend.

Policymakers are on the verge of considering a petition to strip away critical state and local pesticide protections – laws that safeguard our communities and environment.

If approved, this petition would prevent hundreds of state and local regulations that are stronger than federal pesticide standards. Without these local protections, millions of pounds of toxic chemicals, like cancer-linked glyphosate, could be sprayed near schools, parks, and neighborhoods without any notification requirements.

But here’s where you can help: Make your voice heard!

We have until MIDNIGHT March 24 to flood the petition with comments demanding to protect these important laws. Will you speak up?

Pesticides like glyphosate have been linked to cancer, reproductive harm and other serious health issues. State and local governments have stepped up to regulate these toxic chemicals where federal laws fall short – but the pesticide industry is lobbying to eliminate these protections.

If this petition is granted, pesticide companies, like Bayer-Monsanto, would have free rein to put their profits over public health and environment. We cannot let that happen.

Let’s make it clear that governments answer to the people, not the pesticide industry.

Local communities know what’s best for their residents and their unique environment, and they deserve the right to enact stronger protections when federal standards fail to address their needs.

Let’s send a clear message: Protect local pesticide laws, not corporate greed.

Please submit your comment now to urge policymakers to reject this petition and stand up for public health and the environment!

Thanks for taking action, friend.
