We are at an inflection point in our movement.
The corruption that has allowed poisons to remain on the market for decades is getting exposed at such a rapid pace that everyone is finally waking up.
Here's the latest…
Brand new internal documents obtained through a FOIA request reveal that the EPA privately met with Bayer's CEO last June.
As you may know, Bayer has already paid out over $10 BILLION to cancer victims over glyphosate (Roundup weed killer), and there are over 180,000 pending lawsuits.
They are scrambling to escape these lawsuits and are using every angle at their disposal.
Bayer is strategically using the courts, Congress, statehouses, and the White House to protect themselves and avoid accountability for poisoning Americans.
Next month, they're asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a cancer verdict that could shield them from additional cancer lawsuits nationwide.
And now we know they went straight to the EPA (the government agency that regulates pesticides) to discuss legal issues, including the Supreme Court case.
The internal documents show that Bayer also planned to "thank" the EPA for "updating the glyphosate web page."
This apparently refers to a change the EPA made to their website last May – adding a link to a letter withdrawing EPA support for California requiring cancer warnings on glyphosate products.
This is a bombshell because Bayer's argument at the Supreme Court hangs on cancer warnings. They're essentially saying: "If the EPA didn't require us to put a cancer warning on the label, then we can't be held responsible for not warning people".
In other words: by withdrawing support for cancer warning labels, the EPA handed Bayer a key piece of ammunition for their Supreme Court case.
The Solicitor General then filed a brief with the Supreme Court, urging the court to take up Bayer's case. And the Supreme Court agreed.
In a nutshell…
- The EPA withdrew their support for California's cancer warning labels on glyphosate products.
- Bayer then met privately with EPA officials and thanked them.
- The administration has sided with Bayer at the Supreme Court.
- And now tens of thousands of cancer victims could lose their right to sue.
And this isn't just about Roundup. If Bayer wins, it could set a precedent that makes it nearly impossible to hold ANY pesticide company accountable, potentially affecting thousands of chemicals the EPA regulates.
We can't sit back and allow this to happen can we?
Nobody in the government is coming to our rescue. We the people have to do this.
That's why I am asking you to join me in Washington D.C. on April 27th for The People vs. Poison Rally outside of the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is going to be the largest food movement rally America has ever seen – and it will send an unmistakable message that corporations cannot poison us, capture our regulators, and then escape accountability.
More details coming soon, so stay tuned!
