🔥☠️ PESTICIDE CALL TO ACTION - Booker Launches Bill S2324 That Gives Citizens Right to Sue Pesticide Makers as House Pushes Measure (Section 453) to Protect Big Chemical. Federal lawmakers are being asked to consider two dueling pieces of legislation: one that protects the right of Americans to sue a pesticide maker if exposure to the company’s product harms their health, and one that protects chemical companies from those very types of lawsuits.

Sample Script (but please write your own)…

Subject: Please co-sponsor and vote for Sen. Cory Booker’s Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025

Please co-sponsor and vote for Sen. Cory Booker’s Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025. This simple two-page bill strengthens Americans’ rights to sue pesticide manufacturers for health harms their products cause and enables states to impose stricter pesticide labels than EPA standards if they wish. Thus, the bill protects health rights of Americans as well as state sovereignty.

Currently, pesticide manufacturers are backing a House appropriations bill clause that shields chemical companies by limiting state regulations and lawsuits in much the same way that vaccine manufacturers are shielded. Please do not succumb to pressures from Big Chemical!

Again, please support Senator Booker’s bill and oppose all efforts—including Section 453—to shield chemical companies from harming Americans with impunity.

Summary of Article (Grok ai, edited; image from article)

Federal lawmakers are debating two conflicting pesticide bills:

1. Sen. Cory Booker’s new Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025 strengthens Americans’ rights to sue pesticide manufacturers for health harms by amending Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Booker’s bill counters industry efforts, led by Bayer, to block “failure to warn” lawsuits.

2. A dueling House appropriations bill clause shields chemical companies by limiting state regulations and lawsuits. The House measure restricts states from imposing stricter pesticide labels than EPA standards, potentially protecting companies like Bayer, which has paid billions to settle Roundup-related lawsuits.

The article is much longer than this summary and provides important background information for those who want to dive deeper.

Summary of Bill (Grok ai, edited)

The Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025, introduced by Senator Booker, amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to establish a private right of action, allowing individuals harmed by pesticides to sue pesticide registrants in federal court for monetary damages. The bill enables recovery of compensatory and punitive damages but excludes attorney’s fees and court costs. It also ensures that state law claims are not preempted, preserving additional legal avenues for affected individuals.
