*[Enwl-eng] Congress must protect the right to sue pesticide corporations over their poisonous products

[ecology]

 

Pesticide companies want to stop people from holding them accountable for health impacts. Pesticide Corporations Have Been Poisoning Communities for Years. They Want to Block People from Suing Them For It. Sign Now      Pesticide corporations don't want you to be able to sue them if their products cause you or your family to develop cancer, Parkinson's disease, or other serious health conditions. In fact, these corporations — like Monsanto's parent company Bayer as well as Syngenta — have been pushing U.S. states to pass laws that would shield them from lawsuits. It's obvious why they're doing this. Right now, Bayer (Monsanto) faces approximately 67,000 lawsuits over the deadly health effects of their products, like glyphosate-based RoundUp. Meanwhile, around 6,000 similar lawsuits have also been filed against Syngenta.   Corporations have already successfully convinced lawmakers in two U.S. states to grant them "liability shields" so that residents cannot seek justice. And what they've done in Georgia and North Dakota, they want to do in the rest of the country. We cannot let that happen. Luckily, Senator Corey Booker has introduced new federal legislation that would "ensure that pesticide manufacturers can be held responsible for the harm caused by their toxic products." We need this law in order to protect everyday people from greedy, profit-bloated, toxin-spewing corporations! Sign the petition to demand that U.S. lawmakers pass the Pesticide Injury Accountability Act!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Pesticide corporations want the unlimited ability to keep selling their disease-linked products with complete, unchecked immunity. We can't let them have that. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
