            We have just days to act.

            Trump is desperate to close a trade deal with the EU this month -- by forcing us to import chemical-soaked meat and Franken-crops dripping with banned pesticides from US companies.

            He’s threatening EU leaders with auto tariffs if he doesn’t get his way, and it seems like his bullying is working: Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan is considering weakening our food safety regulations to make the deal happen “within weeks”. In just days, Hogan is scheduled to fly to Washington for negotiations with Trump officials. 


            Add your voice now: keep The Donald’s hands off our hard-fought food standards!

            You and I have been working so hard to make our food safer and healthier for people, animals, and the planet. We can’t let Trump -- and the toxic agribusinesses that have lobbied their way into his administration -- tear it all down.

            We’re just about to run an attention-grabbing ad in trusted EU news source Politico – paid for by SumOfUs members like you – demanding Hogan keep Trump’s banned chemicals out of our food.

            Nearly 160,000 people have backed that demand so far -- will you sign the petition and send the numbers through the roof?

                        Cereal bars drenched in Monsanto’s pesticides in every lunchbox? That’s Donald Trump’s latest plan for Europe's parents. 

                        Sign the petition to demand that the EU rejects Trump’s food grown with banned, toxic chemicals for Europe's supermarkets.

            Donald Trump is going full throttle against Europe’s food safety. He is trying to bully the EU into buying chemical-soaked meat and Franken-crops sprayed with banned pesticides from US companies.

            Previously, he threatened to smack tariffs on European car imports if the EU doesn’t lower its standards. Now it looks like new EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan is on the verge of caving.

            We can’t let this bully drag us down with him.

            Together, you and I can force our politicians to defend the health of Europe’s residents and children against The Donald.

            Europe-wide public outcry -- against chlorinated chicken and other substandard food imports -- rendered the EU-US TTIP trade deal dead in the water. Public pressure works.

            But a bully doesn’t like taking no for an answer, and Trump is stepping up his attack on our science-based laws that protect Europeans from poisonous pesticides. Together, let's pin responsibility on our politicians to reject Trump's dangerous plans.

            Demand that MEPs and the EU don’t cave to Donald Trump’s bullying, and publicly defend -- and build on -- Europe’s science-based pesticide laws

            Trump’s plans for Europe are a dangerous threat to our health and food quality. In fact, hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members are right now pushing for higher pesticide standards, not lower, as the EU still licenses dangerous bee and human harming pesticides like sulfoxaflor and glyphosate.

            We need to go forwards, not backwards.

            Individual politicians don’t want to become famous for doing a deal with Trump -- but some might try to hide behind their parties, or hope their secretive trade deal negotiations go unnoticed.

            A huge, headline-grabbing petition from thousands of SumOfUs members like you and me can throw light on their backroom discussions, and put politicians on the spot to make public promises that reject Trump’s plan for a pesticide-ridden Europe.

            Please sign the petition now, and say yes to healthy, pesticide-free food for Europe's residents and children.
