As we grow and branch into new areas to pursue solutions to the climate crisis on an ever-greater scale, one thing will never change, and that’s our focus on harnessing the law to force the change we need.

California bees get help against deadly pesticide

We have been in court fighting for years to protect pollinators from pesticides. Just this month, a California court ruled in our favor to stop the use of a bee-killing pesticide called sulfoxaflor in the state.

How an environmental lawyer stays motivated to fight the climate crisis

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Ban organophosphates

Together, we worked tirelessly to get the toxic pesticide chlorpyrifos banned. But chlorpyrifos is only the tip of the iceberg. It’s just one chemical in a class of nerve-agent pesticides called organophosphates, which, like chlorpyrifos, are deeply harmful to children’s brain development and toxic to farmworkers. Join us in calling on the EPA to ban organophosphates.
