Monsanto is attacking US funding for the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In 2015, after extensive research, the IARC announced that glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s RoundUp, probably causes cancer. 

This announcement is a huge step forward for preventing cancer and cancer-related deaths as well as protecting key pollinators, like bees, from this toxic chemical. 

And it’s a huge blow to Monsanto’s bottom line. That’s why Monsanto has been doing everything in its power to discredit the science, including starting a bogus group, Campaign for Accuracy in Public Health Research (CAPHR), to spread misinformation and lobbying US lawmakers to cut funding to this vital organization. 

Removing US funding to the IARC would be a major step backward for global cancer research. It’s time to tell Monsanto to stop putting profits before public health and end its greed-driven attacks on the IARC. 

Monsanto has bottomless pockets and it uses its financial might to lobby politicians to protect its profits. If its group, CAPHR, is to be believed, Monsanto and other chemical industry giants should be believed over renowned scientists in cancer research. 

It’s clear that Monsanto’s campaign against the IARC is not about public health but Monsanto’s profits. It’s a dangerous move that must be stopped. 

SumOfUs has been fighting against Monsanto’s dangerous chemical, glyphosate, for over two years -- and winning. Over 246,000 caring members like you called on key decision makers in the EU to ban glyphosate. Since then, both France and Italy have moved to phase out this dangerous chemical. We know that when we work together we can prevent pesticide giants like Monsanto from putting profits before public health.
