Finally friend,

After years of inaction from the EPA, Congress is taking serious action on toxic pesticides.

Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) just introduced the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act. This landmark legislation would ban or restrict some of the most notorious toxic pesticides used in the U.S., including chlorpyrifos, neonics and more!

This is a major opportunity to improve the health of Americans and our environment for decades to come, but you can be sure that the pesticide industry is going to fight it tooth and nail. That’s why we need your help. Can you reach out to your congressional representatives today and urge them to support the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act?

The Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act would be the most significant improvement to pesticide oversight in the U.S. in nearly 25 years. Here’s what the bill proposes:

• 
An immediate ban on neonics, which have been linked to massive declines in bee populations, and chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxic pesticide linked to brain damage in kids.
• 
An immediate EPA suspension and review of pesticides banned in the EU or Canada, including the notorious hormone-disruptor atrazine.
• 
Protection for farmworkers with English and Spanish required on pesticide labels, employer reporting of injuries caused by pesticide exposure, and the suspension of a pesticide when it causes the death of a farmworker.

The Trump EPA has sided with Big Ag again and again. This is our chance to finally get the government to take serious action on toxic pesticides. We can’t let Big Ag kill this legislation. Will you stand with EWG?

Stand up to Big Ag and tell Congress to pass the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act!

Thanks for standing with us, friend.
