John,

Indigenous elders are about to take the Canadian government to court, to protect plants, animals, and people from aerial spraying of toxic glyphosate.

You’ve shown time and time again that when ordinary people come together, we can win. And with your help today, this small group of Indigenous elders can make the government respect their rights, and stop the toxic pesticide planes.

John,

It's raining glyphosate in Canada: forestry companies are using planes to spray Monsanto's toxic pesticide on remote Indigenous forests.

Animals are dying and food and medicine plants are being wiped out. It’s a huge crisis for these communities but, so far, the Canadian government, who can force the forestry companies to stop this rain of death, is turning a blind eye to the destruction.

But with your help, that’s about to change.

A brave group of Indigenous elders has been working tirelessly in the fight of their lives -- and they are on the brink of filing legal action against the Canadian government to protect their land from this toxic pesticide rain.

But without your help the lawsuit won’t even get into courts.

Glyphosate, the key ingredient in RoundUp, is Bayer-Monsanto’s favorite pesticide. But it’s a massive health concern for humans -- over 13,000 people have taken the corporate giant to court over cancers related to using glyphosate.

Now, as planes drench their forests with this poison, Indigenous communities are watching in horror as beavers, rabbits, songbirds, and porcupines disappear from their land. They also can’t eat or make medicine out of glyphosate-doused plants -- a critical part of their culture and food security.

Legal battles cost a lot of money -- upwards of $100,000 -- and there’s no way that the elders from these communities, some as small as a few hundred, can take on the Canadian government without your help.

At this critical moment, as they prepare to launch their lawsuit, they need your help more than ever.

The Indigenous elders have only gotten this far because of you. SumOfUs members have generously contributed to ensure that elders could gather to decide, according to their traditional ways, how to proceed. And you made sure that they have great legal counsel to help them strategize the best way to move forward.

SumOfUs members like you have also been integral in pushing for glyphosate bans in Austria, fighting its re-licensing in Europe and supporting victims of glyphosate poisoning like Dewayne Johnson.

And together, we’re winning. Vietnam has outright banned the toxic chemical. Retailers like Costco are getting glyphosate off store shelves. Bayer-Monsanto’s stock value is plummeting, and even its own shareholders are revolting against glyphosate!

You’ve shown time and time again that when ordinary people come together, we can take on even the biggest corporate giants. And with your help today, this small group of Indigenous elders in Canada can make history.
