WASHINGTON — More than 200,000 people are calling on chemical giant Bayer to phase out the production of toxic pesticides, including glyphosate and neonicotinoids, that harm human health and pollinators. Led by Friends of the Earth U.S., protesters gathered outside Bayer’s headquarters in downtown Washington D.C. Monday afternoon to speak out against the company and deliver the petition signatures and comments in person.

The petition delivery came on the heels of a larger rally earlier in the day, as the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case involving Bayer’s Roundup weedkiller. A Supreme Court decision in favor of Bayer could effectively curtail people’s ability to sue pesticide corporations for cancer and other health harms linked to their products, even when those products lack a warning label. Hundreds gathered outside the Court to protest Bayer and the Trump administration’s support for the company’s bid to secure legal immunity.

Friends of the Earth — which has worked for decades to protect farmworkers, rural communities, children, and the environment from toxic pesticides — joined a cross-partisan coalition of organizations, activists, scientists, farmers, and members of Congress at the rally.
