To the EPA Pesticide Division:
Moms Across America and our supporters: retail brands, pediatricians, scientists, physicians, health coaches, teachers, farmers, lawyers, and consumers, are requesting that you review the 67 studies that were not included in your review of glyphosate as a carcinogen that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviewed and revise your decision regarding the license of glyphosate. We request you also review the new studies connecting glyphosate to many reproductive and endocrine-disrupting issues. Hundreds of independent studies have shown that glyphosate is harmful in many ways, not only as a carcinogen. Glyphosate also has endocrine disrupting properties at very low levels and can cause neurological, nervous system, reproductive, sperm, liver, kidney, and organ damage as well as miscarriages.
There is no safe level of glyphosate in our food or livestock feed supply, and you are the only agency that has the authority to change the current reality: harmful levels of glyphosate contaminate school lunches, fast food, baby food, and gluten-free food. In the past, glyphosate has been detected in thousands of food samples and other substances, including oats, chickpeas, beans, wheat, soy, corn, orange juice, wine, beer, eggs, bread, snacks, cereals, honey, and even breastmilk, hospital gauze, feminine sanitary products, childhood vaccines, and sperm.
America has a physical, mental, and reproductive health crisis, and glyphosate is a significant contributing factor to all of these severely critical issues. Your agency must take action now to protect the health and future of our country.
We are asking you to:
- Review all of the studies the IARC reviewed and all new independent studies available today on glyphosate and all health effects.
- Revoke the license of glyphosate.
- Until the license is revoked, immediately disallow glyphosate from being used as a drying agent or pre-harvest weed killer on all agricultural crops. The EU has recently banned pre-harvest spray with glyphosate to minimize dietary exposure. We are asking you to do the same.
Thank you for taking action to protect the American public's health, not the corporations' profits.
We hope you appreciate that when you reflect on your legacy one day, it will be one of courage, commitment, and integrity.
Thank you.

As long as government agencies approve poison, carcinogens, and toxins to fill our food and products, you are pervading a government that becomes destructive of these ends: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our people, our government, and our nation are weaker when money is valued higher than our greatest capital: human life. We the people hold these truths to be self-evident: we should not poison people. We the people are dying while you make your millions.
