Dear All
Horrible news indeed. You may wish to contribute to this appeal to try and stop the EU doing this to bees.
Best wishes

Europe’s leaders are inches away from re-approving a dangerously toxic pesticide from Bayer-Monsanto.

And only you can stop them.

They’re hoping to sneak this decision in away from the public eye -- but if you chip in today we’ll blast powerful ads all over the top EU news website to show decision makers just how unpopular this toxic pesticide is.

Can you donate just £28 to stop yet another toxic pesticide?

Cherry,

A dangerous pesticide is on the verge of being sprayed all across Europe.

Why? Because Bayer’s cashed up lobbyists have been working overtime to scare the European Union into ignoring the science -- all so Bayer can keep fattening its wallet.

Thiacloprid isn’t just bad news for the bees. It can cause organ damage, and even cancer in humans!

But this isn’t a done deal… yet. And now you can force the EU to ban this dangerous pesticide before it's too late.

If you chip in today, we'll flood Politico -- the news site trusted by Europe’s politicians -- with hard-hitting ads showing them that ordinary folk like you and me want our bees and our health to be put before Bayer’s profits.

These targeted ads can reach the right people and they work -- can you donate £28 today to get them online?

France already banned thiacloprid because of how dangerous it is to farm workers and bees -- it’s classified as a reproductive toxicant and a carcinogen!

And after thousands of SumOfUs members like you forced the European Union to ban similar bee-harming neonic pesticides, no one was expecting it to re-approve thiacloprid.

But that just shows how rich and powerful Bayer-Monsanto’s lobbying machine is. And Cherry, that means we have to up our game, too.

Imagine being one of Europe’s decision-makers, and checking the news only to see our message plastered all over the screen telling you not to sell out on our bees and our health. That public call could be enough to stop EU decision makers secretive plans in their tracks!

We can make Europe’s leaders face the dangers of thiacloprid, and remind them that they work for the people -- not Bayer-Monsanto.

But we can’t do it without you, Cherry.

Members like you are already pushing the European Union towards adopting stricter pesticide testing standards that prioritize the health of bees. Now, let’s put this secretive thiacloprid plan front-and-center in the news and stop it before it’s too late.

Thanks for all that you do,
Rebecca and the team at SumOfUs
