Dear friend,

Would you drink a glass of water if it contained a chemical able to turn male frogs into female frogs with viable eggs?

Right now, millions of Americans are at risk of drinking atrazine, a toxic pesticide that has been linked to serious health risks like cancer, shorter pregnancy and hormone disruption. And Trump’s EPA is about to give the pesticide industry the green light to keep spraying.

The EPA has ignored atrazine’s environmental and health risks in the past, but now we have a chance to weigh in. The EPA is asking to hear from the public on atrazine by January 5 before making its final decision on atrazine.

We need to overwhelm the agency with more than 50,000 comments before the deadline if we’re going to force it to stand up for human health over pesticide industry profits! Can we count on you to join us?

More than 70 million pounds of atrazine are dumped on American farmland each year, running off into the rivers, lakes and streams we rely on for drinking water. Atrazine is such a powerful hormone disruptor, it can even turn male frogs into female frogs!

According to the EPA’s own assessment, atrazine is likely to adversely affect 976 threatened or endangered species and 314 critical habitats across the U.S. We need the EPA to stand up for the environment and our health, but we only have until January 5 to make our voices heard.

TAKE ACTION: Stand up for clean water and tell the EPA to BAN atrazine!

Thanks for standing with us, friend.
