We have just days to act.
Trump is desperate to close a trade deal with the EU this
month -- by forcing us to import chemical-soaked meat
and Franken-crops dripping with banned pesticides from US
companies.
He’s threatening EU leaders with auto tariffs if he doesn’t get
his way, and it seems like his bullying is working: Trade
Commissioner Phil Hogan is considering weakening our food safety
regulations to make the deal happen “within weeks”. In just
days, Hogan is scheduled to fly to Washington for negotiations
with Trump officials.
Add
your voice now: keep The Donald’s hands off our hard-fought food
standards!
You and I have been working so hard to make our food
safer and healthier for people, animals, and the planet. We
can’t let Trump -- and the toxic agribusinesses that have lobbied
their way into his administration -- tear it all down.
We’re just about to run an attention-grabbing ad in
trusted EU news source Politico – paid for by SumOfUs members like
you – demanding Hogan keep Trump’s banned chemicals
out of our food.
Nearly 160,000 people have backed that demand so far --
will you sign the petition and send the numbers through the
roof?

Donald Trump is going full throttle against Europe’s food
safety. He is trying to bully the EU into buying
chemical-soaked meat and Franken-crops sprayed with banned
pesticides from US companies.
Previously, he threatened to smack tariffs on European
car imports if the EU doesn’t lower its standards. Now it
looks like new EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan is on the verge of
caving.

pesticide-laced food
We can’t let this bully drag us down with
him.
Together, you and I can force our politicians to defend
the health of Europe’s residents and children against The
Donald.
Europe-wide public outcry -- against chlorinated chicken and
other substandard food imports -- rendered the EU-US TTIP trade deal
dead in the water. Public pressure works.
But a bully doesn’t like taking no for an answer, and Trump is
stepping up his attack on our science-based laws that protect
Europeans from poisonous pesticides. Together, let's pin
responsibility on our politicians to reject Trump's dangerous
plans.
Demand
that MEPs and the EU don’t cave to Donald Trump’s bullying, and
publicly defend -- and build on -- Europe’s science-based pesticide
laws
Trump’s plans for Europe are a dangerous threat to our
health and food quality. In fact, hundreds of thousands of
SumOfUs members are right now pushing for higher pesticide
standards, not lower, as the EU still licenses dangerous bee and
human harming pesticides like sulfoxaflor and glyphosate.
We need to go forwards, not backwards.
Individual politicians don’t want to become famous for doing a
deal with Trump -- but some might try to hide behind their parties,
or hope their secretive trade deal negotiations go unnoticed.
A huge, headline-grabbing petition from thousands of
SumOfUs members like you and me can throw light on their backroom
discussions, and put politicians on the spot to make public
promises that reject Trump’s plan for a pesticide-ridden
Europe.
Please
sign the petition now, and say yes to healthy, pesticide-free food
for Europe's residents and children.

Thanks for all that you do,
David and the team at
