Ban the pesticide Atrazine
A pesticide with minimal effect on crops that contaminates water has harmful effects on wildlife and causes birth defects. The EU has banned this pesticide since 2004. The risks far outweigh any benefit.
Why is this important?
Rep. Keith Ellison has introduced bills attempting to ban this pesticide multiple times. He needs our support. I'm personally affected by this because my daughter was born with an abdominal wall defect where this chemical is heavily used. I want to prevent, if we can, other families from suffering.
