Overview
The U.S. House of Representatives will soon vote on a Farm Bill that would harm public health and our environment. This bill would shield pesticide and agricultural chemical manufacturers from lawsuits when their products cause serious health harms like cancer. It would also block states and local communities from requiring stronger safety standards, warning labels, and protections for children.
Take Action
Why this matters
The House Farm Bill proposal would:
- Strip states and communities of their authority to pass stronger protections against toxic pesticides
- Silence state and local warning label requirements
- Allow pesticide applications near schools and playgrounds
- Prevent people harmed by exposure from seeking legal remedies
Your voice can make a difference.
