Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency just reversed an Obama-era move to ban a chemical linked to neurological damage in children:

EPA will not ban use of controversial pesticide linked to children's health problems. -- Washington Post

Chlorpyrifos has been banned for personal and home use for twenty years due to the severe risk and harm it poses to children, including irreversible brain damage.

Call on the EPA to change course: Ban the use of chlorpyrifos and let’s protect our children and public health >>

Take a stand >>

Five years ago, Obama’s EPA found that “even relatively low exposure to the chemical can have disastrous consequences on youngsters.”

As a result, the Obama administration recommended BANNING the use of this chemical -- Which is frequently used on all sorts of foodstuffs and crops throughout the nation ranging from strawberries to broccoli.

It’s no secret why Trump’s EPA is siding with chemical manufacturers over the public health of the American people -- Trump is responsible for removing, censoring, and replacing hundreds of scientists with industry insiders at the agency.

And he plans on terminating as many as half of the scientific committees there, including the ones dealing with chemical regulation, children’s health, and public health.

Big Chemical is celebrating Trump’s decision but our kids will be the ones paying the price: Add your name to join the chorus of scientists and groups calling for a ban on chlorpyrifos! >>

Add your name >>

314 Action is a grassroots community of nearly 1 million people working to elect Democratic scientists who will use science and facts to address some of our most pressing issues like climate change and health care. In 2018 we played a pivotal role in flipping the US House of Representatives by electing 9 Democratic scientists to the House and Senate as well as over 100 to key legislative districts while raising over $5.2 million with an average donation of just $27.55. Now we're focused on flipping the US Senate, defeating 25 climate deniers in Congress and flipping key state legislatures across the country.
