Thanks to you — and our fiercely determined coalition — farmworkers will now be safer on the job.
Dear Paov,
On Monday afternoon, EPA released new, stronger rules protecting farmworkers from on-the-job exposure to pesticides. These new rules represent a giant leap forward for the health and safety of more than two million U.S. farmworkers.
This is a huge win. And make no mistake, it would not have happened without powerful, consistent pressure from our national coalition — and the engagement of thousands of supporters like you.
You make this work possible! When you sign a petition, make a phone call or email decisionmakers, you help create wins that matter — like this one. And your donations fuel the science, organizing and communications that make it all possible. Can you help keep this important work moving forward with a gift today?
Your support helps us stay in battles like this one for the long haul. From field hearings across the country to farmworker fly-ins for meetings with Congressional leaders, PAN and our partners worked for years to make sure that the pesticide harms farmworkers and their families face weren't swept under the rug.
Last August, we delivered more than 200,000 petition signatures to EPA. Then we kept the pressure on with postcards, Thunderclaps, Twitter storms and more throughout the year. You’ve been with us every step of the way — thank you!
Again and again, we see how powerful collective action can be. That’s exactly why PAN is a grassroots network — and with your support, we’ll keep working together to build the healthy, thriving system of food and farming we all deserve. r2
