Can you chip in to stop BAYER-MONSANTO's "get out of jail free" law ? (EKO).

 

Bayer-Monsanto is bleeding money. It’s already paid out  $10 BILLION to settle lawsuits alleging that Roundup caused cancer  and other diseases, with thousands more cases pending. Desperate, the pesticide giant has launched a new strategy to protect  its profits : lobby governments to pass laws shielding it from more  of these lawsuits. A law in the U.S. state Missouri could get a vote any day with  similar laws being considered in other states. If it passes, we bet  Bayer-Monsanto will push for governments in Europe and beyond  to do the same. We urgently have to stop them – and here’s how. If we can quickly raise enough, we’ll unleash a massive  lobbying effort of our own, shining a light on what’s  happening behind closed doors so elected officials can’t  get away with passing these shady laws to protect  Bayer-Monsanto. Can you chip in to stop Bayer-Monsanto's ‘get out of jail  free’ law ? DONATE €4Donate another amount Bayer’s CEO recently lamented that all the litigation is “a huge  burden” on its profits. So now the pesticide giant is quietly using  its influence to convince lawmakers to pass laws to let them off  the hook. The proposed law in Missouri would shield companies from  lawsuits for failing to warn that its pesticides could cause cancer,  so long as the product is approved and abides by the labeling  regulations specified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Letting a law like this pass could set off a domino effect across  the country and beyond, effectively giving Bayer a get out of  jail free card for thousands of lawsuits.  We have to fight back with a major lobbying effort of our  own, or Bayer could quietly push through these shady laws  – wiping out years of work by our movement and so many others.  Our almost 23 million person strong movement is perfectly poised  to expose this latest strategy, and unleash a flurry of pressure  in US statehouses not used to attracting worldwide media  attention.  Are you in ?
