Grannies travel to statehouse to protest Cancer Gag Act

100Grannies joined other activist groups and concerned Iowa citizens at the Iowa Statehouse on February 10, 2025 to protest the Cancer Gag Act.

The Cancer Gag Act refers to legislation pending in Iowa and other states to protect chemical giant Bayer from lawsuits that claim its popular weed killer Roundup causes cancer. Iowa has the second highest and fastest rising cancer rates in the country and research links some cancers to agricultural use of pesticides like those in Roundup. Additional information on the protest is available here.
