Stop Spraying Cancerous Roundup Weedkiller in NYC Parks


Stop Spraying Cancerous Roundup Weedkiller in NYC Parks
The Issue
NYC parks are visited by millions of residents and tourists each year. These parks serve as a place for us to relax, connect, and recharge as a community with our family, friends, and pets. Despite this, the NYC Parks Department has made the conscious decision to spray Roundup Weedkiller in our parks, which contains glyphosate, a probable human carcinogen.
As a city that prides itself on promoting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, we demand that the NYC Parks Department and other executive authorities remain consistent in their care for its city's residents and visitors and replace Roundup with a safe and non-toxic alternative. It is unacceptable and hypocritical to knowingly spray a potentially cancerous substance in thousands of parks throughout our city.
