Glyphosate can cause cancer -- but the EU gave it a license anyway.
But that license is due to expire. And if we convince the EU not to renew it this time, our fields and parks could be glyphosate free forever.
This is a race against time, and right now Bayer is winning. It’s already filed for another 5 years or more of glyphosate. And it will do anything to bully the EU into renewing the license again -- the authorisation process has just begun.
We have to get ahead of Bayer. That means carefully monitoring the pesticide lobby’s every move during the approval process, digging up backroom corruption and bringing victims of glyphosate to the table to speak to EU lawmakers. This will be a months long, painstaking job -- but if anyone is up to that challenge, it’s you.
A small monthly gift from you will help us roll out these tried and true tactics -- and convince EU decision makers to leave the glyphosate license dead in the water. Can I count on your gift to beat Bayer?
