Urgent Action Alert: Tell the EPA to Ban Glyphosate Now. Comments Due November 23!

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reassessing the safety of glyphosate, a widely used weedkiller linked to serious health concerns, and it's taking public comments until November 23, 2026, on which scientific studies it should consider.

With a major scientific 25-year-old landmark study relied upon to prove the safety of glyphosate recently retracted, it's clear that the EPA must make sure only sound, independent science goes into its review!

TAKE ACTION: Tell the EPA to Ban Glyphosate Now!

The facts should be alarming to us all: the key paper relied on by the EPA for glyphosate safety assessments was retracted due to serious ethical concerns and questions about the validity of the research findings. The study's conclusions were based on unpublished data from Monsanto, and the authors did not disclose financial compensation they received from Monsanto for their work.

Bayer has paid out about $11 billion to resolve more than 100,000 Roundup cancer cases, and faces massive liability from tens of thousands of additional lawsuits alleging its Roundup herbicide (with glyphosate being the active ingredient) causes cancer, so it is no surprise that Bayer is seeking to avoid liability by proposing a $7.25 billion deal to settle current and future claims, lobbying for legislation, and winning a U.S. Supreme Court ruling this June that blocks some cancer warning lawsuits.

Right now, EPA is deciding which published research to include in its glyphosate health review, and it expects to finish its updated risk assessment in early 2027. Personal comments count the most, so please add a sentence or two in your own words about why this matters to you.

Due to mounting scientific evidence linking glyphosate to cancer and other severe health issues in humans and animals, and concerns about its impact on pollinators and ecosystems, we need to act now!

TAKE ACTION NOW: Tell the EPA to prioritize public health and safety over industry interests by including all independent research on glyphosate's health harms in its review, rejecting retracted and industry funded studies, and banning glyphosate to end the ongoing chemical assault on our land, water, and health!

Dear [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency],

I am writing to express my concern about the safety of glyphosate, a widely used weedkiller and active ingredient in Roundup, and to urge the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take immediate action to protect public health and the environment.

The EPA is currently reassessing the safety of glyphosate. Given the recent retraction of a key study relied upon by the EPA for glyphosate safety assessments due to serious ethical concerns and questions about the validity of the research findings, I believe it is essential for the EPA to make sure its review includes all independent, peer reviewed research on glyphosate's health harms, and gives no weight to retracted or industry funded studies.

The mounting scientific evidence linking glyphosate to cancer and other severe health issues in humans and animals, as well as concerns about its impact on pollinators and ecosystems, necessitate swift action.

In 2015, a panel of 17 scientists at the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), after reviewing the latest science on glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto Roundup weedkiller, unanimously agreed to reclassify the chemical as a probable human carcinogen.

The Environmental Protection Agency has chosen to ignore IARC, relying on unpublished, industry-funded studies to determine that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans. The EPA has been Monsanto's partner in crime since it reversed the 1985 consensus position of eight EPA scientists that glyphosate was a Class C carcinogen.

In 2025, the journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology retracted a 25-year-old study on glyphosate that Monsanto commissioned and the EPA used for support, citing "serious ethical concerns regarding the independence and accountability of the authors.”Congress removed a rider from a congressional appropriations bill that would have helped protect pesticide makers from being sued, and the House stripped a similar shield from the Farm Bill, but this is an ongoing battle.

I believe that the EPA should prioritize public health and safety over industry interests. The EPA has a critical role to play in protecting us from the harms of glyphosate and should outright ban glyphosate and hold Bayer accountable for the suffering it is causing.

I urge the EPA to base its glyphosate review on sound, independent science and to ban glyphosate.

I look forward to seeing the EPA take swift and decisive action to address these concerns.

Thank you.
