Bayer created a front group to strip Americans of their right to sue pesticide companies for cancer...
And they just got called out right on the floor of the Tennessee house. It was incredible.
Bills are being introduced across the country that would eliminate your right to sue pesticide companies in state court for failing to warn about cancer risks. The chemical companies are targeting at least 21 states and liability shields have passed in Georgia and North Dakota – which means residents there can no longer hold these companies accountable.
It is an undeniable fact that Roundup (glyphosate) causes people to get cancer based on countless court cases – and Bayer has paid out billions in settlements trying to make these lawsuits go away.
So what did Bayer do?
They created an industry front group, and gave it a catchy name: Modern Ag Alliance.
Their executive director has been traveling state to state testifying in support of these bills, presenting the Modern Ag Alliance as a farmer advocacy group – while working in the interest of the chemical companies seeking immunity from cancer lawsuits.
In Tennessee, Representative Justin Jones wasn't buying it. He put her on the spot mid-testimony and forced her to admit on the record that the Modern Ag Alliance was founded and funded by Bayer/Monsanto. He then told the entire committee: this is an industry front group, bought and paid for by Monsanto and Bayer. We need more of this in Washington!
This is what's at stake in Monsanto v. Durnell at the Supreme Court this April...
If Bayer wins, EPA label approval becomes a NATIONWIDE shield against cancer lawsuits, making what happened in Georgia and North Dakota the law of the land everywhere.
And we know that's the real goal: They just conceded that their liability shield bill in Kentucky would only apply to agriculture products. This is not about regulatory process. It's about getting out of cancer lawsuits.
This is corruption at its highest level and must be exposed.
This is what we are up against – and this is exactly why we are marching on Washington.
On April 27th, right as the Supreme Court takes up this case, we are holding the biggest food movement rally Washington has ever seen.
The People vs. Poison Rally is our chance to show up and make it clear that the American people will not let corporations legislate their way out of accountability.
If you can be there, we need you there. If you can't, please share this rally with everyone you know and help us flood Washington with people who are done being silent.
We are fighting back.
Xo,

P.S. I recently got back from meeting so many of you in the Food Babe Army at Expo West and it was the BEST. Watch the behind the scenes reel here.
