Demand Justice

for Roundup Victims

Farmworkers risk their health on our behalf every day. They were told Roundup was safe to use, only to end up battling cancer for their lives. They may never be restored to health, but Bayer-Monsanto has a moral and legal obligation to compensate them fairly. Bayer, which bought Monsanto in 2018, announced in July that it intended to set aside about $9.6 billion to settle claims with current plaintiffs and another $1.25 billion for future claims.

But, under Bayer’s formula, many cancer victims would be getting as little as $5000, and their fates would be decided by scientists of Bayer’s own choosing. This is not how the American justice system is supposed to work, and the victims, once again, are the poor, the marginalized, the disenfranchised. Bayer-Monsanto profits twice – first from selling farmers the seeds and then the Roundup – year after year.
