John,

Last year we scored a court win revoking the use of dicamba, a dangerous herbicide, on genetically modified cotton and soybeans. We celebrated for the monarch butterflies, whooping cranes, rusty-patched bumblebees, and other species that finally got to breathe a little easier this summer.

But when we succeed, polluters get more desperate. Now President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to reapprove the pesticide that courts have twice struck down. [link removed]

This could see dicamba sprayed on 100 million acres of farmland. Flowering plants — like the milkweed monarchs need to survive — and anything else in the vicinity won’t stand a chance.

The proposal comes just a month after the Trump administration installed a former pro-pesticide soybean lobbyist as the head of the EPA pesticide office, a move that will keep people and the environment sick.

Tell the Trump EPA that its dangerous new dicamba plan is bad for people, monarchs, and all the other wonderful creatures who live or work in and near the farmlands at risk. [link removed]
