By Marion Nestle April 27 2026 Happening today: Rally against glyphosate at the Supreme Court: The People vs. Poison Farm Action has joined Vani Hari (the Food Babe) and other groups in this People vs. Poison rally. Livestream it here. The “poison” here is glyphosate, the potentially carcinoenic weed killer manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) for use with genetically modified crops. People vs. Poison says, “For decades they poisoned us for profit.  Now the people are fighting back”. The rally is to let the Supreme Court know that there is widespread opposition to Monsanto’s position in the case, Monsanto v. Durnell.  The Court is hearing that case today.  As People vs. Poison explains, Bayer – the foreign corporation that bought Monsanto – has paid over $10 billion to cancer victims linked to their weed killer Roundup (glyphosate). And there are still tens of thousands of cases pending. Now Bayer wants to make sure they never have to pay again. As described in The New Lede,  Monsanto specifically is asking the Supreme Court to rule that under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), it cannot be held liable for failing to warn of a cancer risk if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not found such a risk exists and not required such a warning. FIFRA preempts any state requirements for such a cancer warning, the company argues. Hundreds of groups have filed briefs on both sides of this case. Trump’s Department of Justice filed one in support of Monsanto/Bayer. Farm Action says Monsanto, owned by Bayer, has mounted an aggressive campaign to secure immunity, leveraging its outsized market power to influence policymakers. The company faces thousands of lawsuits alleging its flagship product, Roundup, causes cancer. As Farm Action has documented, threats to pull Roundup from the market are a strategic pressure tactic, not a sign of impending crisis for the food and farm system…The coalition’s brief urges the Court to reject Monsanto’s argument and preserve the right to hold companies accountable when their products cause harm. The rally is set for 9:00 this morning.  I will be interested to hear how it goes and whether the Supreme Court listens.
