Did you see the news, friend? FDA tests detected the neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos on raisins! This is the same pesticide that can cause brain damage in kids, even at low levels of exposure.

The EU and the states of New York and California have all banned chlorpyrifos. But the EPA refuses to do the same.

THIS is why our pesticide work is so important: Toxic chemicals like chlorpyrifos, glyphosate and atrazine should not be in our water or our food.

But Monsanto and the Alliance for Food and Farming – the AFF, a Big Ag front group – want to keep the truth from you and shut down our work.

They’ve called it “propaganda” and “fake news.” At EWG, we call it the facts.

But the truth is, we can’t fight off the attacks without revenue, and right now we’re falling short of our 2019 fundraising goals. We urgently need your help to raise an additional $101,815 by midnight on Tuesday if we’re going to fund our work for 2020.

Can we count on you to make a tax-deductible donation of $10, $25 or more before midnight on Tuesday to fund the research you count on? We have $101,815 to go, and just days left.

Whether it’s our Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ or our explosive report on glyphosate in oat-based cereals, Big Ag sees us as a threat to their bottom line.

We can’t afford to fall short of our fundraising goals – we have so much more to do:

* Fight continued attacks on our pesticide work. The head of the AFF has pledged to use tougher tactics to try to shut down our Dirty Dozen list.
* Shed light on the influence that pesticide companies have on the EPA and the risk assessment process.
* Prevent the EPA from declaring pesticides like glyphosate and atrazine to be safe when there’s scientific evidence that they aren’t.

EWG won’t be bullied into silence. But it takes money to fight back. Can we count on you to make a donation of $10, $25 or more before midnight on Tuesday? Your contribution will go directly toward our pesticide work.

We just need $10, $25 or more from individuals like you – it takes two minutes to donate and will have a huge impact. Plus, a generous donor will match your gift dollar for dollar, making it go twice as far.
