Don't Let Trump Give Big Pesticide A Pass

Trump just handed Bayer and the pesticide industry a massive victory — and our health, our food, and our environment will pay the price.

In a sweeping order, Trump directed the USDA to boost production and support for glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, which is linked to thousands of cancer lawsuits. It would even give them immunity against accountability. This is a massive win for Bayer and the pesticide lobby — and a blow to public health.

Instead of investing in safer alternatives and independent science, Trump is doubling down on chemical-heavy agriculture — putting corporate profits ahead of people. Congress cannot stay silent.

Tell Congress: “Investigate Trump’s glyphosate order. Strengthen pesticide protections. And stop giving Big Pesticide a free pass.”

Juries have tied glyphosate to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and awarded billions to victims. Farmworkers, Indigenous communities, and rural families have warned for years about the risks to their health, water, and land. Even the “Make America Healthy Again” movement that helped fuel Trump’s victory has demanded that glyphosate be banned.

Now it’s up to Congress to act. 

Lawmakers have the power to hold oversight hearings and strengthen pesticide safeguards before this order causes even more harm. Public pressure can force hearings. Hearings can expose industry influence. And exposure can lead to real reform.

But if Congress fails to act, pesticide giants will win — and our communities will pay the price.

Add your name now. Protect our health. Protect our food. Hold Big Pesticide accountable.

The petition to Congress reads: “Investigate Trump’s glyphosate order. Strengthen pesticide protections. And stop giving Big Pesticide a free pass.”
