Residents of Tulare County are tired of the harm that these pesticides have been inflicting on our families, and our response has increasingly been been to organize to fight against the systems that are responsible for spreading them! bit.ly/2Aq05q6

Thanks for your leadership on universal school food Nancy Skinner, & a timely reminder of the overlap between hunger and air pollution in low income communities of color. State $$ should encourage organic farming & reduce the #pesticide pollution burden civileats.com/2021/06/10/op-…

We’ve heard U.S. EPA may only ban SOME uses of chlorpyrifos. Michael S. Regan say it isn’t so! You have the chance to protect workers & children from this harmful chemical. Prove you won’t bow to industry pressure, do the right thing, & FULLY #BanChlorpyrifos. bit.ly/EPABanChlorpyr…
