Bees are dying off at record rates -- and a new study just
revealed farmers are being sold pesticides that are killing
twice as many bees as previously thought.
That's why we've joined beekeepers across Europe to collect one
million signatures for a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), which
could force the EU to take urgent action to ban Bayer's
toxic pesticides and save the bees.
But there's a problem -- thanks to COVID it’s been difficult to
collect signatures in person, and the deadline is coming
up at the end of this month.
We're so close... just 245,000 signatures to go -- will you take
one minute and chip in $2 to fund a final digital ads push
to put us over the top and save the bees?

Out of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world's food, 70 are
pollinated by bees. So if we don't act fast to protect them from the
pesticides causing their collapse, we're at risk too.
That's why this ECI is so important -- if we succeed, we'll set
in motion new ironclad protections for bees across
Europe, setting the stage for further action around the
globe.
The ECI process was always going to be an uphill
climb -- we need to gather one million signatures from more
than seven European countries. The process for collecting them is
burdensome, and it’s followed by a rigorous analysis to make sure
every single signature is valid.
But it’s worth it. With the help of an ECI, the European
Commission has promised to end caged farming in Europe! And if
we can show European politicians that there is a massive
movement fighting to save the bees, they will finally be
forced to act.
We've got fewer than 2 weeks to get the final signatures
we need -- but you can fund this final push to save the
bees. Will you chip in today?
