URGENT: Trump’s buddies just authorised toxic glyphosate for another 15 years.

We’re joining a group of activists to sue Trump’s environment department in court -- and make a last-ditch effort to stop glyphosate. But we need your help to pull it off.

Can you chip in $2 to stop toxic glyphosate?

The Trump government just announced that glyphosate will be drenching our food for another 15 years -- until 2035!

Scientists are outraged: The whole approval process was a total joke -- Trump’s environmental agency ignored just about every study that wasn’t paid for by Bayer-Monsanto.

And there's a good reason for that: Trump is really close to Monsanto’s bosses.

The US is one of the biggest exporters of agricultural products -- so that means glyphosate may end up on your plate, wherever you are.

But you can still fight back. If we can get a court to force the Trump administration to look at the real science, we stand a good chance of getting glyphosate banned after all. The first court date is just weeks away -- but winning this kind of legal case doesn't come cheap.

Can you chip in $2 to sue Trump and get glyphosate banned?

Monsanto has known for 20 years that its weedkiller is likely to cause a rare form of blood cancer called non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

But instead of protecting the public, Monsanto’s execs buried the evidence, manipulated regulators and bought scientists so it could keep poisoning people and planet.

When Trump assumed office, one of his first meetings was with Bayer-Monsanto’s chief executives. Trump made it clear from the start that he’s got Bayer-Monsanto’s back and that the pesticide giant need not worry about any regulation that will keep you and me safe from this toxic poison.

Trump’s corruption comes as no surprise, but here’s the thing: we have a once in lifetime opportunity to overturn this phony ruling by Trump’s agency.

That’s why we decided to back the lawsuit of our friends at the Pesticide Action Network to sue the Trump administration. All we need is your help!

Can you help pay for a lawsuit that will hold Trump and his cronies accountable?

There’s real momentum in the movement to get glyphosate banned all over the world -- and it’s driven by you. And where governments are lagging behind, corporations are bending to consumer pressure. Last month, Kellogg’s announced it will take steps to phase out the use of glyphosate to dry oats and wheat before harvest.

We can force Trump’s environmental agency to reverse its decision -- but we need your help to make it happen.

Can you chip in now?

Yes, I'll chip in $2 now to help get glyphosate banned.

Thanks for all that you do,
Anne and the team at SumOfUs
