While we worry about loved ones and try to come to terms with a
terrifying global pandemic, Dow Chemical has secretly gone
back to court to appeal your hard-won ban on bee-killing pesticides
in France.
It’s the perfect opportunity for Dow -- with the world distracted
-- to get the ban overturned and continue lining its pockets by
killing our bees.
It's a low blow. But this community won't stand for it.
Together with our beekeeper friends from the National
Union of French Beekeeping and Acting for the Environment we’re
mounting a bee-saving legal case to stop Dow. But at times
like these, when our resources are stretched thin, more than ever we
need your help to keep fighting for the bees, Vladimir.

I don’t know about you. But being out in nature and watching
spring unfold, is the one way I find peace and solace in these
unsettling times. So when I heard that this pesticide giant is still
trying to profit from killing bees and insects, it just broke my
heart.
So much feels out of our control right now, but protecting these
hard-won victories for nature is something that fills me full of
purpose. For years, you and I have fought tooth and nail for
historic bans on bee-killing pesticides -- and together we can still
save them.
We’ve still got a good shot at stopping Dow -- we just need to
scrape together enough donations to pay these top-notch lawyers.

Over the years, you’ve achieved so much in the fight to
save the bees: SumOfUs members like you have gone to court
before against Dow Chemical -- and won. This is the final appeal, if
we win this, Dow will have to accept defeat!
And we haven’t
got time to lose, especially for the bumblebees: Research published
in the prestigious Nature journal found that exposure to Dow’s
chemical sulfoxaflor reduced both the size of bumblebee
colonies and the number of offspring produced by a whopping 54
percent!
If Dow wins this, it would be a huge setback in our global fight
to keep the bees safe. It sets a dangerous precedent if France
overturns its ban on bee-killing pesticides -- many other countries
might follow.
