Tell the EPA: Keep Us Safe From Pesticide Drift

The Trump administration is quietly putting farmers and families in harm’s way — and it’s happening right now in fields, schools, and backyards across the country.

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency is moving forward with reapproval of dicamba, a notoriously volatile and dangerous pesticide. Dicamba doesn’t stay where it’s sprayed. It drifts into neighboring farms, rural homes, schools, and communities, damaging crops and exposing people to toxic chemicals they never consented to breathe.

This is regulatory capture, plain and simple. Chemical company insiders took over our regulatory agencies. They want dicamba approved, and now the EPA is acting like an industry partner instead of a watchdog. We need to fight back now.

Tell the EPA: “Keep us safe from pesticide drift. Follow the science, protect our health, and ban dicamba.”

Pesticide drift isn’t theoretical. Farmworkers are exposed first. Farmers who refuse to spray watch their crops die when neighbors do. Families report headaches, nausea, and breathing problems. Kids play outside while invisible chemicals move through the air. Communities are forced into a chemical arms race they never chose.

Dicamba has already caused widespread crop damage and triggered years of complaints from farmers and residents. Now, new reporting shows the EPA is rushing approvals while sidelining scientific concerns and ethical red flags. Internal warnings were brushed aside. Independent experts were ignored. Industry pressure won out over public safety.

The EPA was created to protect people and the environment. Under Trump, it’s failing that mission. Now is the time to hold them accountable.

Our air is not a dumping ground. Add your name now to demand the EPA stop dangerous dicamba approvals, enforce real safeguards, and listen to scientists, farmers, and affected communities — not pesticide lobbyists.

The petition to the EPA reads: “Keep us safe from pesticide drift. Follow the science, protect our health, and ban dicamba.”
