Sign on before the June 5 deadline!Dear PAOV,
We have just a few more days to speak up about EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's controversial decision to ignore his own agency's scientists and greenlight the brain-harming insecticide chlorpyrifos.
Under Administrator Pruitt's direction, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reversed course on plans to pull this widely used chemical off the market — putting the health of millions of children and farmworkers at risk.
In fact, more than 50 California farmworkers fell ill in early May when chlorpyrifos drifted from a nearby orchard into the field where they were harvesting. Action on this neurotoxic chemical is long, long overdue.
Together with partners across the country, we'll be submitting tens of thousands of signatures to Pruitt's EPA, Congress and the media next Monday. We're keeping the legal pressure on too.
Thank you for making a difference!
