John,
I wanted to make sure you saw my email below.
The Trump administration recently admitted that it issued “emergency” approvals to spray bee-killing pesticides on more than 16 million acres of crops in 2019.
And earlier this month, a federal court revoked the registration for three dicamba herbicides, yet Trump’s EPA is allowing farming to continue spraying these harmful chemicals despite the overwhelming evidence of their ecological harm.
Donate today to fight Trump's EPA and stop the approval of more bee-killing pesticides.

John,
The Trump administration recently admitted that it issued “emergency” approvals to spray bee-killing pesticides on more than 16 million acres of crops in 2019.
Trump’s own EPA even admitted that these pesticides are “very toxic to bees.” Meanwhile, these backdoor approvals applied to crops that specifically attract bees.
U.S. beekeepers have suffered through the worst winter bee die-off ever, and some bee species are now facing extinction. Now, new invasive species like the notorious “murder hornet” make the outlook for our food-enabling bees even worse.
While Trump is still in the White House we must count on our state and local governments to take action to help bees survive. A growing movement of cities and states have already banned the use of bee-killing pesticides, and officials are considering bee-saving legislation in states like Colorado, Maine, Minnesota and New Jersey.
Will you donate to help pass these bills to ban bee-killing pesticides and give bees the lifeline they need to survive the Trump administration?

Earlier this year, Trump’s EPA also announced its decision to re-approve another very dangerous pesticide, Glyphosate (the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup pesticides), giving its blessing for the continued use of the poison for another 15 years! Even in the middle of a pandemic, Trump is still hard at work destroying the environment.
This dangerous decision by the EPA means we will be eating, drinking and breathing Glyphosate poison for years to come while honey bees will continue suffering from loss of habitat and poisoning from pesticides. Our EPA should be working to protect our food, water and climate and not dangerous corporations such as Bayer (which now owns Monsanto).
Will you join our fight to ban poisonous, bee-killing pesticides?
DONATE NOW

Dozens of state and local jurisdictions, from Skagway, Alaska to Portland, Maine have banned poisonous, bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides. Now the momentum is growing to give bees places where they can survive until a president who respects science can adopt the nationwide protections needed.
Donate today to fight Trump's EPA and stop the approval of more bee-killing pesticides.
