¡Gracias a las 3000 personas que se han ofrecido como voluntarias para Moms Across America!

¡Juntos, educamos y empoderamos a las madres y a otras personas con acciones y soluciones para crear comunidades saludables!

Estamos al día con la EPA y el glifosato. La semana pasada, la EPA apeló a la Corte Suprema para extender el plazo para su decisión sobre si renovar o revocar la licencia de glifosato. Absurdo. Han tenido 13 años para revisar el glifosato.

Mientras tanto, la gente se enferma y muere. Nuestras mascotas, polinizadores, bebés y vecinos se están muriendo. Nuestros costos de atención médica se están disparando.

Profesor emérito de la Universidad de Perdue, un patólogo de plantas de sesenta años Don Huber PhD. dijo: “Los herbicidas de glifosato hacen que el DDT parezca un enjuague bucal”. 

Three hundred million pounds of these toxic chemicals are sprayed in America on our food crops and communities every year. The CDC found glyphosate in 80% of the 2,310 American urine samples. We are in a health crisis primarily due to these toxins. 

This is a historic moment. This is the time in history when the EPA will decide to affect millions of lives and wildlife species. Recently, the Supreme Court rejected the EPA’s interim glyphosate approval and ordered the  EPA to review available science and come to a decision by octubre 1, 2022.

Solo tenemos un poco más de dos meses para comunicarnos con la EPA e instarlos a hacer lo correcto.

Cuando 10,000 mamás llamaron a la EPA con respecto a nuestros hallazgos de glifosato en la leche materna, la orina y el agua del grifo hace unos años, uno de los miembros del personal más identificables me dijo:

“Alentamos a sus mamás a que se comuniquen con nosotros por cualquier medio que sea necesario”.

Let’s do that! Let’s INUNDATE the EPA!

To me, this person’s invitation means that some in the EPA want to do the right thing, but they need to hear from us.

The EPA needs to see considerable public outcry to make the necessary changes to protect the environment. We all know they get significant pressure from the chemical companies to approve their harmful chemicals and cover up the harm. We are up against a Goliath. We need many “Davids,” or moms and supporters,  to win this fight for food safety.

Will you please pick a method of volunteering and commit to one for the next three weeks?

We want to get all communications to them before septiembre 1, as we are assuming they may have made their decision by then and will be merely drafting the wording for their announcement after that.

Our main message: revoke the license of glyphosate and disallow the spraying of all toxicants as drying agents (desiccants) on our food and feed crops!

Volunteering opportunities:

6. Be a Social Media Scout. Every weekday on Facebook and Instagram, search for one or more topics - “cancer, autism, infertility, liver disease, kidney disease, or mental illness or depression” and post a SOLUTION!

7. Be a Gift Quilter. Make a gift to Tom Vilsack and Michael Regan. Honey attracts more bees than vinegar. We want a meeting with the head of the USDA, Tom Vilsack, and the EPA, Michael Regan.

Sign up by sending an email to [correo electrónico protegido] today.

8. Be a School Lunch Champion. Help us deal with herbicides, heavy metals, and nutrients.

DONAR or Be a part of the team to fundraise the $1000 needed per sample. We need to raise $45,000 by septiembre 1! Contact [correo electrónico protegido] to get directions and be a part of this team.

Do you have other ideas? We want to hear from you! Most important is that every one of us gets creative, courageous, and makes a considerable contribution to current and future generations by COMMITTING to taking one action a day for a month before the EPA’s decision about glyphosate and many other toxic chemicals. 

Let’s not look back and say we wish we could have, would shoulda...no matter what they decide...

Let’s look back and say WE DID IT!

We did our BEST!

Three thousand volunteers all across the nation - we can do this!!!

Note: Please note - it is always more effective to use your own words when communicating with our regulatory agencies. They tend not to count it if it is cut and pasted from an organization. So please add a few sentences, tweak the wording or write it yourself.
