Neonics are neurotoxic insecticides that are used everywhere: from lawns to gardens to farm fields across the country. And in New York State, we're working on phasing them out.

But we're up against HUGE chemical companies and industrial agriculture interests who are fighting to continue using these dangerous chemicals. We can't win without you. Please email the NYS senate today and ask them to support the Birds and Bees Protection Act today.

Neonics are responsible for killing massive numbers of bees and other pollinators. We depend on pollinators to grow our food, and fewer pollinators could mean increased food prices, reduced access to healthier foods, and food scarcity that will hit low-income communities and communities of color especially hard.

Even worse, these pesticides are contaminating the water we drink, the food we eat, and our bodies. Emerging research links exposure to neonics in the womb or early in life with developmental defects, heart deformations, muscle tremors, and memory loss. That’s why Mountainkeeper has joined forces with partners throughout the state to crack down on these toxic pesticides.

Thank you, Governor Hochul

WE DID IT!!! On December 22, 2023, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Birds & Bees Protection Act into law. Please take a moment to share our appreciation with the Governor for her support of this impactful law.
