Friend –

Big Ag groups have sued the EPA to stop the ban on brain-damaging chlorpyrifos from going into effect on February 28! Chlorpyrifos is a neurotoxic pesticide sprayed on popular produce items that can damage children’s developing brains, even at small doses.

After years of advocacy work and more than 95,000 petition signatures from EWG supporters like you, the EPA finally banned this toxic pesticide last year, and it’s due to go into effect in just 5 days. But now Big Ag is trying to undo our work and put their profits ahead of the public’s health. The American Farm Bureau Foundation and other Big Ag groups have filed a petition in the U.S. Court of Appeals to prevent the ban from going into effect on February 28.

We can’t let them get away with it. Can we count on you to help us formulate our plans? We need 4,782 of our top supporters to weigh in before midnight tonight:

Thanks for your feedback, friend.
