Urgent Action Alert: Tell the EPA to Ban Glyphosate Now

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is facing an October 1, 2026, deadline to reassess the safety of glyphosate, a widely used weedkiller linked to serious health concerns.

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 take immediate action to move up the reassessment date!

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The facts should be alarming to us all: the key paper relied on by the EPA for glyphosate safety assessments was retracted due to serious ethical concerns and questions about the validity of the research findings. The study's conclusions were based on unpublished data from Monsanto, and the authors did not disclose financial compensation they received from Monsanto for their work.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 over $10 billion in 100,000 Roundup cancer cases, and faces massive liability from 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 in ongoing lawsuits related to glyphosate exposure by including pursuing appeals, lobbying for legislation, and seeking U.S. Supreme Court intervention.

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 reopening the decision on glyphosate's safety immediately and ban 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 approaching its October 1, 2026 deadline to reassess 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 reopen its review of glyphosate's safety immediately.

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.

I am particularly concerned about the health risks associated with glyphosate exposure and that Bayer is seeking to avoid liability in ongoing lawsuits related to glyphosate exposure by lobbying for legislation and seeking U.S. Supreme Court intervention.

Bayer has paid out over $10 billion in 100,000 Roundup cancer cases and faces massive liability from 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 in ongoing lawsuits related to glyphosate exposure by including pursuing appeals, lobbying for legislation, and seeking U.S. Supreme Court intervention.

Democrats have succeeded in removing a rider https://www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/a-hard-fight/ from a congressional appropriations bill that would have helped protect pesticide makers from being sued but this is an ongoing battle.

I believe that the EPA should prioritize public health and safety over industry interests, have 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 they are causing.

I urge the EPA to reopen the decision on glyphosate's safety immediately.

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

Thank you.
