Friend,

Congress is considering legislation that would BAN some of the most notorious toxic pesticides, including:

•	Neonics, which have been linked to massive declines in bee populations that are already affecting our food supply!
•	Chlorpyrifos, linked to brain damage in kids. California has already banned chlorpyrifos.
•	Paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide found in drinking water and linked to harm to the nervous system and lungs.

11,743 supporters have already taken action to ask Congress to BAN these toxic pesticides, but your record is still blank. Take a look:

Congress is currently considering the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act, which would ban neonics, chlorpyrifos, paraquat and other notorious pesticides. And it would do so much more.

This legislation also requires the EPA to immediately review and suspend pesticides banned in the EU or Canada, including the notorious hormone-disruptor atrazine. It also ensures stronger protections for vulnerable farmworkers by immediately suspending any pesticide when it causes the death of a farmworker.

These are simple steps that Congress should take immediately to create a safer and healthier food system for everyone.

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to protect our health and BAN toxic pesticides!

Thanks for standing with us, friend.
