FWS's updated findings fly in the face of previous EPA assessment which found the pesticide likely to harm more than 1,000 imperiled species. @CFSTrueFood, along with our allies, previously sued the EPA for approving atrazine in 2020. Our work to stop atrazine is ongoing.

"The announcement "makes clear that despite the rhetoric of MAHA, there will be no robust review of pesticide dangers by the Trump Administration. Instead, a toxic poison like atrazine will continue to contaminate our lands & waters, making our children sick for decades to come."

Atrazine is banned in 60 countries, but is the second most widely used #herbicide in the US. This week, the Trump Administration's FWS said that #atrazine does not pose an extinction risk to a single protected animal or plant species. https://t.co/vOHSvP25JX

Industrial ag and pesticide corporations want you to believe their products are the only way to “feed the world.” The reality? We already produce more than enough food. What we need is food sovereignty, regenerative farming, and policies that put health over profit.

Let's get it straight: ❌ Glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in history ❌ It threatens endangered species, and has been linked to cancer, gene disruption, gut microbiome damage, reproductive harms, and ecosystem collapse.

The New York Times just ran an opinion piece calling Roundup (#glyphosate) “one of the most benign weed killers” and dismissing valid concerns as “pseudoscience.”

🚨 Today’s MAHA strategy is out. It was billed as a plan to tackle America’s health crisis. But instead of delivering the farmer-centered vision promised in May, it ducks the hard truths the Commission itself laid out. Here’s the breakdown: 🚫 What’s Missing: The May assessment
