Complete our survey by midnight tonight to help us formulate our plans »]( [TAKE THE SURVEY]( This is a critical moment, friend. Corporations like Bayer’s Monsanto are pressuring lawmakers to sneak an amendment into the 2023 Farm Bill that could OVERTURN all regulations on pesticides set by states and local districts, forcing us to adhere to federal regulations only. State and local laws regulating pesticides go further than the EPA’s restrictions, and are designed to protect high-risk populations such as agricultural workers and schoolchildren, as well as endangered pollinators. This means dangerous pesticides like glyphosate and neonics could be allowed to spread among vulnerable groups and threatened species. These chemicals have been linked to serious and life-threatening health conditions, such as reproductive, cardiovascular and nervous system harm and even cancer. Local communities are taking steps to protect residents from the effects of toxic pesticides. We can’t allow big pesticide companies to put profits above our health. We need your help to change that. We’re counting on 2,500 of our top supporters to weigh in by midnight tonight to help us formulate our plan of action fighting against these dangerous pesticides.
