Tell the California EPA to label RoundUp!

California's EPA has asked for comments on placing glyphosate (RoundUp) on the Prop 65 list. This would mean anywhere it's used would have to be labeled a carcinogen.

They are asking for comments via email, snail mail or fax, no calls!

Worldwide Crowd Funded Glyphosate Study.  

Find out if YOU have Roundup in your body!!

Get your Test Here

The most widely used herbicide in the world is Roundup. Its active ingredient is glyphosate. Thirty five years ago, Monsanto had studies showing potential harm to humans. And for all those decades Monsanto has been telling us roundp.jpgRoundup was perfectly safe.

About a month ago, the International Agency for Research On Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization came out with the announcement that they were reclassifying glyphosate to a 2A rating of “Probable Carcinogen”. According to Dr. Mae Wan Ho and Dr. Nancy Swanson, “... a classification of 2A in cancer-causing potential for glyphosate on the IARC is almost the highest possible categorization.” Read more here.

The USDA has reported that glyphosate is in our water and rivers. Eighty percent of GMOs are “Roundup Resistant.” This means they are engineered to withstand multiple applications of roundup and still survive. NonGMO crops, such as wheat, sugar cane, legumes and more, use it as a desiccant to have crops “mature” all at the same time for ease of harvesting. It is sprayed on playgrounds, schoolyards, alongside roads, lawns, sidewalks. It's everywhere.

Ever wonder if it's in your body? Or more importantly, your kids' bodies?

For the first time ever, our movement gets to unite and do a crowd funded study on the prevalence of this probable carcinogen in our population. This project is being brought to us by "Feed The World" and Organic Consumers Association in the US.

What will testing do for us?

• Provide us personal information so we know what’s going on in our and our children’s bodies. If we know glyphosate is in our bodies we can do something about it.
• Provide data to have more ammo against Monsanto that will let the world know what they are really doing to us, not the stories their PR mill cranks out.
• Give us more ammo with our representatives to push them to ban glyphosate. 

Find out more about glyphosate testing and taking part in a historic study that will let you know if you have this probable carcinogen in your body. In addition, you’ll help humanity and the planet by contributing to the body of knowledge that will help us get this poison banned.

Bit by bit we are uniting to create a safer, less toxic world for our kids and their kids. Please join us and be part of the solution! The study is crowd funded. Your test will cost $119.  If you sign up here, $5 will go to Labelgmos.org to help educate California on GMOs and food justice.  

 AB 700

 Ever wonder if we would have won Prop 37 if folks knew who was spending that $45M on confusing ads?  AB 700 will require the real money to be clearly identified on ads.  This is the first step in cracking Citizen's United. It matters!!

When you call for labeling, tell them NO FAST TRACK on the TPP!!

From Flush the TPP   http://www.flushthetpp.org/

Word is that a new version of Fast Track will be introduced when Congress comes back from recess this month. Now is the time to let members know what's in store if they vote for dangerous, corporate-backed trade deals. Be part of the resistance, and join the Presidents' Day Week of Action! View this email in your browser

This year's attempt to Fast Track unjust trade agreements is around the corner. We've got just a couple weeks to make our voices heard over the promises of multinational corporations, and starting Feb. 16th, people in key districts will ring out the call for members of Congress to commit to voting NO.   Check out our action map to join one of the 18 events happening across the country next week. If there isn't anything in your area, make plans to hold your own emergency rally, call-in, letter drop-off, flyering session, or other event today!   From people's forums to two-state bus tours, communities throughout the U.S. are coming out strong to stop the latest round of Fast Track legislation. It's now or never in this critical moment for trade justice, and we know our action can make all the difference.   With thanks for all you do, The Flush the TPP Team TPP Occucards Flush the TPP on the web Flush the TPP on Facebook Flush the TPP on Twitter, @FlushTheTPP
