STOP THE POISONING‼️
This work continues unabated in 2017; progress has brought additional challenges beyond Washington. Please be sure to read the latest UPDATES, including new research, associated meetings and events.
BACKGROUND
I need to go to Washington to stop the use of glyphosate (a primary ingredient of Roundup®). Know anyone with gut problems? This herbicide contaminates our bodies, mother’s breast milk, most of our food, drinking water, wine and beer, cotton sterile gauze, tampons, pet and livestock feed, and pollutes the environment. It has been linked to many disorders, including: birth defects, gluten intolerance, cancer, autism, dementia, obesity, dead butterflies and honeybees, crippled elk, and climate change. The World Health Organization has deemed glyphosate a potential human carcinogen.
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and one of the most dangerous toxic substances ever created. For 40+ years, it has been registered by the EPA for widespread home, aquatic, and agricultural use! Right now, all over the nation, this poison is being sprayed on our food crops, and at our homes, schools, playgrounds, parks, roadsides, hiking trails and forests. Such practices are unethical, unsafe, and probably unlawful.
I am Dr. Stephen Frantz, a research scientist concerned about the effects of glyphosate on us and future generations. Eight months ago, I wrote an article about glyphosate that caught the attention of Congressman Ted Lieu who has asked me to assemble a delegation of independent scientists to go to Washington to meet with EPA scientists (see: https://www.laprogressive.com/glyphosate/).
ACTIONS
A congressional staff briefing plus an all-day meeting with EPA scientists is scheduled for June 14, 2016 in Washington, DC. A senatorial briefing will occur on June 15. My delegation of a dozen scientists represents disciplines from basic glyphosate research to regenerative biological (organic) agriculture. The goal is to stop the registration renewal for glyphosate because it poses unreasonable risks to humans, animals, and the environment; and to underscore that safer alternative agricultural practices can sustain the agricultural sector. With success, this work will benefit everyone, and the environment.
THE NEED
What began as a volunteer effort has evolved into a full-time job that has outstripped my financial resources (I’m retired). Funding is urgently needed for my travel, additional research, laboratory work, and related expenses. I am asking for donations of $3700 to provide the basic necessities. This effort has gained traction, but will require more travel and additional resources to succeed after the June meetings.
Glyphosate contaminates everything — our bodies, our kids, pets, wildlife, the food chain, and the environment. Please donate now to help outlaw this scourge that every day is causing some degree of illness within each of us, our children, and our pets…whether we are aware of it or not!
