BREAKING: EU glyphosate vote

The EU just refused to re-approve the world’s most used pesticide (YAY!)…but we’re not out of the woods yet. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   [An illustration of a bottle with Monsanto's logo on it and an EU flag in the background.]( {NAME}, This is HUGE! EU countries just refused to re-approve cancer-causing, bee-killing glyphosate for another 10 years…but we’re not out of the woods yet. Another vote is just weeks away, and Bayer’s lobbyists have doubled down, unleashing an unprecedented lobbying effort to strong-arm the EU into greenlighting their poison. But if we launch a massive people’s lobbying effort of our own to keep France and Germany from voting ‘yes’, we can ensure the next vote gets glyphosate off our shelves. We’re urgently raising the funds to run rapid response ads in key newspapers, demanding leaders in France and Germany listen to the people, not the pesticide giants. Can you chip in to stop glyphosate for good? [Donate $3]( another amount]( Glyphosate makers say it’s safe, but a new bombshell report just exposed that it’s harmful to adolescent brain function. This is on top of study after study showing that it causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma. And the scariest part is that it's everywhere – it’s been found in the food we eat, the textiles we touch, and even the dust in our homes. While last week’s vote was a big blow to pesticide lobbyists hoping for a quick re-approval, the ‘no’ votes were not strong enough to stop glyphosate from getting greenlit altogether. So, countries will vote again next month to see if they can come to a decision. The stakes couldn’t be higher. If we don’t win this fight, it could mean up to another DECADE of shocking amounts of the pesticide sprayed across our fields and parks. And what happens in Europe will have a domino effect in the rest of the world. If 5,000 of us chip in, we can launch our own people’s lobbying push – exposing Bayer’s outrageous lobbying efforts to the media, targeting key decision-makers by name in key newspapers, and showing massive public opposition to another 10 years of glyphosate blanketing our planet. We don’t have much time before the next vote – can you help us get glyphosate banned in Europe once and for all?
