The World Health Organization Declares Glyphosate A Probable Human Carcinogen and the WILPF safe food campaign introduces a community survey tool.  See also the talking points against the TPP. 

The Human Right to Health & Safe Food Campaign website has added a SURVEY you can use locally to open the dialogue about toxic chemical herbicides used in your community and what can be done about making food safer locally.  

Once you get your questions answered, you can use that information to open a dialogue locally with community leaders and the public. 

This Survey is a good start. But don’t stop there! 

Announce your findings in a media release, at a film you schedule or a book study you organize.

Include letter writing components to those meetings and events too.  There are sample letters on the website for you to use!  

And don’t forget to order your Infographic Cards for distribution at your event!  We’ve already distributed more than half of the 7000 we ordered, so don’t wait! Read articles about the dangers of glyphosate

TELL THEM AGAIN! 
Even if you’ve contacted them before…

CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AGAIN this week about saying NO to the TPP!

The Trans Pacific Partnership is being opposed by the GOP and a handful of Democrats, but some of the Congress is still on the fence. 

It’s especially important now to contact your GOP and Dem members of Congress in order to tell them you oppose the TPP and want them to block it and the President’s Fast Track. Here are some great Talking Points to refer to when you make that call. 

And here are some other materials you might find useful!
