People are still spraying Monsanto's Roundup all over the gardens and
lawns where you and your family like to relax and play.

John,

Glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Monsanto's weed killer Roundup, has
been labeled a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization.

And yet, Home Depot and Lowe's are still selling Roundup in thousands of
stores across North America every year.

In a few short days, SumOfUs will be delivering a petition to Lowe’s and
Home Depot — the two largest home improvement retail chains in North
America — demanding that they stop selling these dangerous weed killers. 

[ [link removed] ]Make sure your voice is heard. Sign the petition now before it's
delivered to Lowe’s and Home Depot executives.

The dangers of glyphosate to you and those you care about are becoming
clearer every day.

In 2018, a San Francisco jury determined that extensive exposure to
Roundup caused Dewayne Johnson’s terminal cancer. The court ordered
agribusiness giant Monsanto to award the former school groundskeeper
US$289 million in damages because the company failed to adequately warn
consumers about the health hazards of using the product.

In the last two years, over 11,000 similar lawsuits have been launched
against Bayer, Monsanto’s parent company. And while these legal battles
will be key in the fight to rid the country of glyphosate, they take time.

As you read this, countless home gardeners and groundskeepers are spraying
glyphosate-laden weed killers on parks, backyards, and gardens. But the
use of these dangerous products will plummet if Lowe's and Home Depot take
them off shelves.

[ [link removed] ]Act now to demand that Lowe’s and Home Depot stop making cancer-linked
poisons like glyphosate so easily accessible to unsuspecting consumers.

You and millions of other SumOfUs members have been instrumental in
getting governments to ban glyphosate in countries around the world.

And we've got Lowe's and Home Depot to act on dangerous pesticides before
-- more than 700,000 SumOfUs members like you convinced the hardware
giants to stop selling bee-killing neonics three years ago. The US and
Canadian governments won't listen, but it's clear that these companies are
listening to what you have to say.

So now you need to speak out once again.

[ [link removed] ]Join the movement to protect millions of children, animals, and
groundskeepers all over North America from being exposed to glyphosate.
