Prohibit the Use of Glyphosate and Certain Harmful Chemicals in Minnesota

The Issue

I am a resident of Minnesota, and my life has been drastically affected by Lyme disease. My body reacts negatively to almost everything, leading me to countless doctor visits and endless research about health. One alarming discovery I've made is the extensive use of harmful chemicals in the United States, many of which are banned in other countries.

One such chemical is glyphosate, a widely used herbicide that has been linked to numerous health problems. According to a report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), glyphosate is classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans." Despite this warning, it continues to be extensively used across our state.

Minnesota's residents deserve better. We deserve regulations that prioritize our health over industry convenience. It's time we join other countries that have taken steps towards banning these harmful chemicals.

By signing this petition, you're calling on our state legislators in Minnesota to ban the use of glyphosate and other dangerous chemicals. Let's protect ourselves, our families, and future generations from unnecessary exposure to these toxins. Please sign this petition today!
