Hey @JetBlue, you are putting your passengers in danger. The recent data breach shows that facial recognition makes us LESS safe, not more safe. Drop your biased biometric boarding program now. https://t.co/AMhEg0vWHj #GetOuttaMyFace #facialrecognition

Exciting news: Los Angeles city council members @PaulKoretzCD5⁩ and @mikebonin just proposed banning #Roundup in the city!

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

A couple years ago, we got our Recreation & Parks department to curb is use of the herbicide Roundup. Today, ⁦@PaulKoretzCD5⁩ and I proposed an outright ban of this dangerous substance at all city properties and facilities. https://t.co/zqklx8yZ2H

I've got 2 billion more reasons why the work @Kara_B_Cook @uspirg & @TPINNetwork are doing to #BanRoundup is so important

Read CALPIRG's statement on California's recent ban of the brain-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos. #BanChlorpyrifos

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

Thank you @GavinNewsom! Producing the food we need shouldn't depend on pesticides that harm public health. #BanChlorpyrifos

Today, #NYC council members call for moratorium on glyphosate. "The spraying of these products... is raising serious alarm amongst residents and city workers who may be unknowingly exposing themselves and their families to harmful chemicals." #roundup

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

The city of #Napa, California, has banned the use of any glyphosate-based herbicide -- including #Roundup -- on all city property. https://t.co/0l61pY1OQ1

[Kara Cook-Schultz @Kara_B_Cook]

We need safe #cosmetics. That's why we're calling for a bill that would ban #asbestos #lead in cosmetics. Support #AB495 @ewg

[PIRGIM @PIRGIM]

Today we launched our campaign, calling on @Wendys to #holdtheantibiotics and eliminate routine antibiotic use in its beef supply

[Archive: Senator Tom Udall @SenatorTomUdall]

The Trump @EPA is happy to sit around & ignore the fact that #chlorpyrifos is a toxic pesticide that damages the brains of children and causes serious health problems for exposed farmworkers.

We won’t stand by. That’s why I'm reintroducing a bill to #banCPF once and for all.

[Andre Delattre @andredelattre]

@USPIRG @Kara_B_Cook "After this massive award, we expect to see even more awareness that #Roundup is not as safe as advertised."
