Airplanes are flying over indigenous land in Canada and pouring 20,000 litres of toxic glyphosate on their forests.
Forestry companies are aerial spraying glyphosate -- to turn Indigenous hunting and gathering grounds into plantations. Plants are being wiped out. Animals are disappearing. And Indigenous people who live on the land are facing a crisis.
The Canadian government is refusing to protect this important indigenous territory -- but you and I could help stop this “rain of death”.
A small group of brave Indigenous elders have a bold plan to finally stop the destruction: sue the government of Canada.
They’re ready to give it all they’ve got to beat back Bayer-Monsanto and force the Canadian government to respect their territory -- but they can’t do it without you, A.
Suing the government is no small task -- can you donate today to hire lawyers to back up this brave group of elders as they take on the battle of a lifetime?

It’s risky for humans too -- over 13,000 people are suing Monsanto, blaming glyphosate for causing their cancer.
And as planes drench their forests with this poison, Indigenous people have watched in horror as beavers, rabbits, songbirds, and porcupines are all disappearing from their land. They can’t eat or make medicine out of glyphosate doused plants, either.
Legal battles are long and expensive, but if these courageous elders get the backing of SumOfUs members like you and me, they can hire top-notch lawyers and force the government to ban glyphosate spraying on their land! Can you chip in CA$94 today?

You fought the re-licensing of glyphosate across Europe, and thousands of you donated to Monsanto cancer-victim Dewayne Lee Johnson throughout his historic legal case.
And together, we’re winning. Vietnam just outright banned the toxic chemical. Retailers like Costco are getting it off store shelves. Bayer-Monsanto’s value is plummeting, and even its own shareholders are revolting against glyphosate!
You’ve shown time and time again that when ordinary people come together, we can take on even the biggest corporate giants. And with your help today, this small group of Indigenous elders in Canada can make history. So, A, are you in?
