*[Enwl-eng] Urgent: Beekeepers silenced

[ENWLine]

Bayer is trying to shut out beekeepers from its annual shareholder meeting. But with your help, we can make this sneaky plan backfire. Can you chip in to help beekeepers hack Bayer’s PR show? Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Donate $1 now Bayer is using the Coronavirus as an excuse to shut bee protectors out of its shareholder meeting -- even though they have a legal right to be there! Holding its shareholder meeting online means Bayer has total control over who speaks and who participates. But with your help, we’ll make sure that this plan will backfire. If you chip in $1 we’ll buy online ads to redirect all journalists searching for “Bayer AGM” on Google to our online stream where beekeepers will be speaking the truth about Bayer's bee-killing pesticides. The online shareholder meeting is already coming up on Tuesday -- we need to rapidly launch these ads to hack Bayer's PR show. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 to save the bees? Most companies have moved the date of their shareholder meetings because of the coronavirus. But not Bayer. That means we need to get creative to get the message from beekeepers across. With our ads, we’re targeting journalists and shareholders looking for Bayer’s meeting online. It’ll be a PR disaster for Bayer.   In past years, when Bayer held its AGM, SumOfUs members like you were there, making a ruckus and supporting beekeepers to get their message across to Bayer’s shareholders. Together, we’ve had some real impact. Last year, your protests led to the Bayer board not being ratified -- this is the first time that’s happened in the history of German companies. Bayer is sick and tired of disruption. Bosses think taking the meeting online will make it a smooth event. Oh, how wrong they could be if we can crash the party -- with your help. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Can you chip in $1 to help beekeepers disrupt the Bayer shareholder meeting?
