John, did you see this? Beekeepers are being shut out of
Bayer’s virtual shareholder meeting.

If you chip in now, we’ll buy online ads to direct journalists and
shareholders to an alternative Bayer AGM, where beekeepers do get to
speak. But we don’t have much time, the shareholder meeting is set to
start tomorrow morning.

Please, can you chip in
$1
to hack the Bayer AGM and give beekeepers a voice?

John,

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.

John, 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.

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.
