Stop this bill!

Dear Friend, the chemical industry is trying to pull one over on us. And the House of Representatives is about to do the industry’s bidding. [EWG Action Fund]( Dear Friend, The chemical industry is trying to pull one over on us. And the House of Representatives is about to do the industry’s bidding. Big Ag’s buddies in Congress have snuck a dangerous provision into this year’s farm bill, a must-pass piece of legislation that has huge implications for the country’s food system. This provision would preempt local governments from adopting their own pesticide regulations. It would strip away local bans on Monsanto’s cancer-causing glyphosate. Essentially, Congress thinks that Big Ag and the pesticide lobby should determine what chemicals are safe to have in our parks and playgrounds. No way. I know the power of community activism. And we ALL need to pull together right now. We have a right to protect our communities and our health. Your representative needs to hear from you TODAY if we are going to stop this bill. [Click here to urge your representative to fight back against Big Ag and stand with community activists.]( This is an outrageous attack on community activists and local governments’ authority! If passed, this bill would undo more than 150 restrictions on the use of hazardous pesticides in parks and on playgrounds in one fell swoop. We can’t allow Big Ag to strip away our power. We have a right to protect our local parks and playgrounds from toxic pesticides like glyphosate. It’s time to stand up and fight for our health and our environment! Please join me right now and tell your representative to stand up for your community. Big Ag shouldn’t dictate how local governments can protect their citizens! [Contact your representative today. Urge him or her to vote NO on stripping community pesticide restrictions.]( Thanks for your support, Friend.
