Ekō campaigners, partners and supporters outside the European Commission to deliver 2.5 million signatures against the renewal of glyphosate

John,

Bayer-Monsanto is thrilled. The EU has greenlit glyphosate for another decade – that’s 10 more years of the poison blanketing our planet. 

We have to do something – and fast. Here’s the plan: Our partners at Pesticide Action Network (PAN) are working around the clock to prepare oral arguments in a groundbreaking lawsuit against the European Commission, arguing it didn’t follow the law when granting the new license. 

They’ve come to us to quickly raise the funds to do it. Now, if enough of us chip in, we can make this the biggest people-powered lawsuit in history!

Will you join the fight to ban glyphosate – and protect people and our planet from toxic chemicals?

Glyphosate is everywhere. It blankets our crops and contaminates our playgrounds – it’s so prevalent that NONE of us can escape it. In a recent study, the herbicide was found in a shocking 87% of children’s urine!

We know just how dangerous this poison is. It has been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A new bombshell report just exposed that it’s harmful to adolescent brain function. Since it’s also an antibiotic, new research reveals it can affect the gut health of humans and other species, potentially leading to serious diseases. And it’s decimating our pollinators and soil health. 

PAN Europe’s lawsuit will argue that by renewing glyphosate’s license, the EU failed to take into account all the independent evidence showing how glyphosate could cause harm to the public or the environment. The scientific evidence can’t be ignored.

It’s a case we know we can win, but we need your help to do it. Then, we'll keep fighting to protect people and the planet from toxic chemicals wherever it's needed.

Can you chip in to build the biggest people-powered glyphosate lawsuit ever? 

I'll donate $3I'll donate $4 I'll donate $5I'll donate $9I'll donate another amount

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet. 

People-powered campaigns have triumphed against this poison in the past. And we can do it again – if our community comes together like never before.

Thanks for all that you do,
Allison, Yasmin and the Ekō team
