The EU is speeding towards re-approving toxic glyphosate based on
cherry-picked, industry-funded studies. Other governments are doing
the same. It’s a disaster.
But independent scientists just finished a
first-of-its-kind study that shows how glyphosate
damages DNA in internal organs.
This game-changing study is ready, but its authors have
come to us asking if we can pay for it to be published in
top publicly-accessible journals. That way, government officials
can’t just turn a blind eye to it, like Bayer’s lobbyists would want
them to.
This could get glyphosate banned.
If enough members like you chip in just $3,
they can submit it to the journals today -- but we
need to be quick. Every day we wait, farmers and gardeners
keep spraying this poison with abandon on our fields and
playgrounds. Are you in?

Pesticide companies need to prove that their products are safe.
In many places, governments have to ban chemicals if new,
trustworthy data says there’s a problem.
For over 40 years, industry-funded researchers have focused on
bone marrow tests to prove that glyphosate pesticides are fine.
“Glyphosate’s safe, look at our data” they’d say -- and governments
ate it up. But now this new study shows that glyphosate may
not harm bone marrow, but it ravages other organs
instead.
When this gets out in top scientific journals, Bayer can kiss
their cosy consensus with health authorities goodbye. And if
that doesn’t do it -- we can sue the authorities to get a move
on.
For all we know, Bayer-Monsanto has done exactly the same
research, and just buried the data to protect their profits.
Internal Monsanto emails, released during a US lawsuit recently,
show bosses knew years ago that the company had “potential
vulnerabilities” that could be uncovered one day.
We almost succeeded in getting glyphosate banned
in Europe four years ago -- but the might of pesticide industry
lobbying was simply too much. Our fields, our food -- even our
bodies are contaminated with the stuff.
This is our chance to ban glyphosate in the EU, and around the
world. Every extra money we raise will power our campaigning against
the pesticide industry -- and fight for bans across the world. This
study -- if we can help spread it far and wide -- could break
Bayer’s spell over our regulators, and end the age of
glyphosate.
