What Are We Up Against?
Problems
-
Our food and water are threatened by pollution, policies that don’t hold large polluting corporations accountable, and a lack of meaningful penalties when corporations are prosecuted.
We must address these threats by establishing policies that stop pollution before the damage is done — from stopping the waste flowing from factory farms to banning fracking.
-
Corporations are using their resources to “buy” public policy in a political system that is legalized bribery.
We can begin to fix our broken democracy and improve our health and the environment by opposing the abusive corporate control of our food and water.
-
Decisions are driven by greed — not what’s right for our communities, health or the environment.
We need to spread the word about how corporate-backed schemes to address our most pressing environmental problems, like climate change, will only make things worse.
-
We are bombarded by messages that support keeping our systems broken and our food and water unsafe.
Confused about GMOs, fracking or trade deals? We separate the facts from industry smoke and mirrors.
Monsanto's Roundup is a "probable human carcinogen." We need to ban it!
Work locally, make a difference.
