Cherry,
The EU is on the verge of a decision that could spell horrible
news for bees. But you’ve got a chance to sway it in the
right direction.
In just one week, officials are discussing whether to ban
or relicense the pesticide thiacloprid, a neonicotinoid
produced by Bayer that damages the health of bees and even
people.
Bayer’s lobbyists are piling on the pressure for the EU
to keep this poison on the market -- but a massive outcry
from the public could force a ban and save the bees.
We’re planning a giant Facebook ad blitz to get all of
Europe to sign our petition to ban thiacloprid, but we
don’t yet have the funds to pull it off.
That’s where you come in. Will you chip in to get this
poison out of Europe?

Bayer still thinks it can win on this -- it’s banking on
people like you and me not knowing or caring about the EU’s
closed-door pesticide meetings.
But we know that when we get the word out about bee-killing
thiacloprid, people take action with us. We've
already tested targeted Facebook ads, and it’s clear it works!
Thousands have already signed our petition -- your donation
today will make those numbers sky rocket.
With enough public pressure leading up to the meeting,
the EU will have no choice but to ban
thiacloprid.
We have the ads ready to go, we just need the funds to blast them
out far and wide. Will you get them out?

SumOfUs doesn’t have the financial reserves of an agro-chemical
giant. We win campaigns because we make smart use of the resources
we have -- and our most valuable one is people. A single petition
signature might not look like much, but hundreds of
thousands of them, coming from all over Europe, could
protect the bees and farmers in danger of being poisoned by
deadly thiacloprid.
That’s how we won against Bayer last year, when our
million-strong petition helped convince the EU Commission to ban
three of the most dangerous neonicotinoid pesticides. And
that’s how we’ll win this time -- with a little extra push from
you.
So please, will you help get the public buzzing about
this toxic threat to the bees?
