To the EPA Administrator, EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, Members of the House Committee on Agriculture, and Members of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry,

I urge you to reject any executive action, Farm Bill provision, regulatory position, or federal policy that would shield glyphosate manufacturers from legitimate cancer lawsuits.

Across the country, tens of thousands of people have filed claims alleging that glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Many of these families have spent years carrying the weight of illness, lost income, medical costs, and grief. They deserve access to the courts, not special protections for the companies they believe harmed them.

This issue now sits at the center of federal pesticide policy. Reporting indicates that recent government action to support glyphosate production under the Defense Production Act could help strengthen liability protections for manufacturers. At the same time, lawmakers have considered Farm Bill language tied to pesticide labeling and legal preemption. These moves raise serious concern that people seeking justice could lose their ability to bring or pursue claims in court.

That must not happen.

The EPA and its Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention have a duty to protect public health and preserve trust in the regulatory process. Congress, including the House and Senate agriculture committees, has a duty to ensure that federal agricultural policy does not become a vehicle for corporate immunity.

This is not only a legal matter. It is a question of fairness and humanity. When credible health concerns exist and so many families continue to seek accountability, government should not place chemical manufacturers beyond the reach of the courts. If companies are confident in the safety of their products, they should be willing to defend them in court like anyone else.

No family facing cancer should be told that the rules changed after the harm was done. No corporation should receive a special shield because its product is widely used or politically connected. Equal accountability under the law must remain intact.

Please act now to ensure that no executive action, Farm Bill provision, agency position, or federal rule grants immunity or special legal protections to glyphosate manufacturers facing cancer lawsuits.

These actions will ensure a better future for all.

Sincerely,
