The EU isn't following its own pesticide laws, according to now published secret documents. This uncovered evidence could give us the edge we need to win a glyphosate lawsuit in Europe. Our partners are officially heading to court – and we need 3000 more people to chip in the cost of a cup of coffee to build a strong case. It's a case we know we can win. Partners come to us because our Ekō community is crucial to winning lawsuits like this in Europe and beyond – can we count on you to help? [Donate $3]( another amount]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Ekō campaigners, partners and supporters outside the European Commission to deliver 2.5 million signatures against the renewal of glyphosate]( {NAME}, Bayer-Monsanto is thrilled. The EU has greenlit glyphosate for another decade – that’s 10 more years of the poison blanketing our planet. We have to do something – and fast. Here’s the plan: Our partners at Pesticide Action Network (PAN) are working around the clock to file a lawsuit against the European Commission, arguing it didn’t follow the law when granting the new license. They’ve come to us to quickly raise the funds to do it. Now if enough of us chip in, we can make this the biggest people-powered lawsuit in history! Will you join in to stop glyphosate poisoning our planet? [Donate $3]( another amount]( Glyphosate is everywhere. It blankets our crops and contaminates our playgrounds – it’s so prevalent that NONE of us can escape it. In a study last year, the herbicide was found in a shocking 87% of children’s urine! We know just how dangerous this poison is. It has been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A new bombshell report just exposed that it’s harmful to adolescent brain function. Since it’s also an antibiotic, new research reveals it can affect the gut health of humans and other species, potentially leading to serious diseases. And it’s decimating our pollinators and soil health. PAN Europe’s lawsuit will argue that by renewing glyphosate’s license, the EU failed to take into account all the independent evidence showing how glyphosate could cause harm to the public or the environment. The scientific evidence can’t be ignored. It’s a case we know we can win, but we need your help to do it. Can you chip in to build the biggest people-powered glyphosate lawsuit ever? [Donate $3]( another amount]( People-powered campaigns have triumphed against this poison in the past. And we can do it again – if our community comes together like never before.
