Confronting Bayer's Billion-Dollar Playbook to Fend off Cancer-Related Lawsuits
When American farmers develop cancer from dangerous and deadly chemicals, they should be able to hold the mega-corporations who sold those chemicals accountable.
In the face of hundreds of thousands of claims that ordinary Americans have brought against the manufacturers of Roundup and other pesticides, we’re urging lawmakers to choose the lives of Americans over the profit margins of corporate giants.
Our Impact
We believe that everyone deserves access to justice. That’s why, when powerful corporations try to get away with hurting and exploiting people, we stand up for what’s right.
We’re a non-profit, grassroots campaign working to shed light on predatory business practices, end abusive corporate tactics, and protect your rights.
Whether it’s chemical conglomerates trying to silence people made sick by dangerous products, predatory tech companies exploiting and abusing children, employers discriminating against their workers, or manufacturers putting profit over Americans’ lives, we believe that corporations should be held accountable for their actions.
Because justice shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy and powerful – justice is for all.

Restoring Your Rights
Forced arbitration clauses, concealed in the fine print terms and conditions of nearly every type of contract, such as employment, credit card, nursing home, and rideshare app agreements, force individuals into a secret and rigged system in which individuals rarely prevail.
If you’ve ever…
-
opened a bank account
-
downloaded an app
-
applied for a credit card, or
-
accepted a job
…chances are, you’ve signed away your rights.
Though 99% of Americans don’t know it, there’s a legal trap hidden in most user agreements, “Terms of Service,” product information, and employment agreements.
Lurking in the fine print are forced arbitration clauses – pitfalls that rob consumers of their rights if they’re ever hurt by a product or service and deny workers’ rights if they’re discriminated against or abused in the workplace.
Instead, hard working Americans are pushed into rigged and secretive forced arbitration proceedings that are stacked against them and in favor of big corporations.
As corporations, banks, and employers continue to incorporate forced arbitration clauses into their terms of service and agreements, Take Justice Back is raising awareness of the impact of these clauses and empowering individuals to take action.

Texas Two-Stepping Out of Bankruptcy
A tactic known as the "Texas two-step" has gained attention from some of the wealthiest corporations as a way to dodge legal accountability for wrongdoing. This tactic allows profitable companies to file for “bankruptcy”, and then transfer the burden to a smaller subsidiary, letting the original company and its assets escape untouched.
Holding Law-Breaking Corporations Accountable
Industries, such as tobacco, drugs and devices, asbestos, and pesticides, try to protect themselves from being held responsible for the harm and deaths caused by their dangerous and toxic products. Americans should have the right to hold mega-corporations accountable for their actions so that future generations are better protected.
