TELL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO SIGN-ON TO STOP 2,4-D CROPS

The Environmental Protection Agency’s public comment period on the approval of the use of toxic 2,4-D specifically for Dow’s GE corn and soybeans has closed to the public, and over 500,000 people around the country wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) telling it not to approve the use of the toxic herbicide 2,4-D specifically for Dow’s genetically engineered (GE) corn. 

In response, Representatives Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Chellie Pingree (D-ME) have written a Congressional sign-on letter urging the EPA and USDA to deny approval of 2,4-D crops and this new version of Dow’s 2,4-D herbicide, and they are circulating the letter to Congress for signers. 

Ask your Representative to sign!

EPA is timing their approval process with that of USDA, with both agencies proposing approval of the Dow Agent Orange, GE crop system.

Tell your representative to sign onto the DeFazio/Pingree letter urging EPA and USDA to reject Dow Chemical’s “Agent Orange” crops and the toxic chemicals they rely on!
