Dear John,

Last month, the EPA announced plans to require the disclosure of all raw data --
including private medical records -- for studies that are essential for our most
important environmental laws and regulations.

This would likely prevent the studies from happening or undermine their
conclusions. The inevitable result would be fewer protections from the pesticide
industry and other polluters.

Trump’s EPA is attacking our privacy and the science we all rely on to increase
profits for mega-corporations. We need your help to send a loud and clear
message to the EPA: Stop suppressing science!

Protect our health, environment, and privacy: Demand the EPA stop censoring
science!

This new rule is part of the Trump Administration’s broader effort to censor
science and gut our bedrock environmental protections -- selling out our health
and planet to enrich Big Polluters.

In 2017, Trump’s EPA reversed a ban on the neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos
after Dow Chemical gave Trump $1 million. Chlorpyrifos is linked to increased
risk of autism, ADHD, reduced IQ and memory loss.

Later, in 2018, the EPA announced that it would cut funding for all children’s
environmental health centers. One of these centers was directly responsible for
showing how badly chlorpyrifos hurts children’s brains.

The EPA’s proposed plans are the next step in giving polluters like Dow Chemical
a free pass to poison us and the environment while children and bees suffer.
Now, the agency needs to feel a groundswell of grassroots opposition to its
latest giveaway. And they need to hear from you today!

Fight Trump’s latest giveaway to Big Polluters: Tell the EPA to put people over
corporate profits!

Since day 1, the Trump Administration has worked to make it easier for Big
Polluters to poison people and the environment. Trump’s EPA continuously refuses
to ban bee-killing neonics and cancer-causing glyphosate, despite the clear
science showing harm.

The only way Trump can do this successfully is by undermining science. After
all, independent research shows that these pesticides harm bees and poison
people. But the EPA would rather protect pesticide industry profits instead of
people and our planet.

The EPA’s new plan would make it harder to study the damaging effects of these
chemicals. And it even aims to defund the very EPA centers that produce this
essential research.

Strong, independent science helps ensure polluters are held accountable. An
attack on science is an attack on our families and our pollinators like bees and
butterflies. We need to drive the message home to the EPA: Stop suppressing
science NOW!

Help send 30,000 comments to the EPA: Tell the agency to stop rejecting science
and protect our environment.
