Dear John,

You have less than 12 hours left to donate to Friends of the Earth for
#GivingTuesdayNow!

We’re $15,400 short of meeting our goal to raise $31,000 by midnight tonight,
and we need your help to close the gap and double your impact, thanks to a match
from a generous donor.

Trump’s corrupt administration is handing our food system over to corporations
bent on destruction in the name of profit. Big Ag is killing off vital
pollinators like bees and butterflies at alarming rates -- and demolishing the
forests our planet needs to prevent climate chaos.

Friends of the Earth is working tirelessly to protect bees, butterflies, and our
planet, but we’re up against the powerful industrial agribusiness industry and
their allies in the Trump Administration, so we need your help to win.

We urgently need to raise $31,000 by 11:59 pm tonight, and we can only get there
with your help. Please, John, donate $27 or more to
Friends of the Earth today.

[[link removed]]Right now, Bayer-Monsanto continues to sell glyphosate-based pesticides linked
to cancer. Over 52,000 cancer-having Americans have now sued Bayer-Monsanto for
causing their cancer, and the number of lawsuits keeps growing.

But the corporation’s profits are growing, too. And yet their executives have the gall to exploit the COVID-19 crisis to stiff cancer
patients . They’re saying that they need to preserve money right now due to the economic
downturn, so they’re making it harder for plaintiffs (the people suing them) to
settle their claims and hold Bayer-Monsanto to account.

This is outrageous. And they’re cozying up to Trump’s administration, too.

Despite concluding that toxic pesticides are dangerous, Trump’s EPA is allowing
their continued use. In fact, Trump’s EPA just weakened the Endangered Species Act to enable more
lethal pesticides.

Pesticides aren’t just harming humans directly. They’re also driving bees and
other pollinators toward extinction. Pollinators are essential for most
flowering plants, including those that provide food for humans and countless
other species.

That’s why Friends of the Earth is working overtime to save pollinators, people,
and our planet.

While the Trump Administration works to undermine and reverse pesticide
protections, we’re shining a light on this outrage in the media and building power so our voices are louder than Bayer-Monsanto, Dow, BASF, and
Syngenta’s lobbyists.

We’re also working outside of Washington, D.C.: organizing in states across the
country to ban these chemicals, and pushing supermarkets to shift away from food
grown with toxic, bee-killing pesticides.

But we can’t do this without you.

Please, John, donate as generously as you can RIGHT NOW
to Friends of the Earth -- before it’s too late for bees and butterflies.

[[link removed]]Despite long odds, we’ve won some crucial fights together, thanks to your
support.

After you helped us push state governments around the country to ban
chlorpyrifos, chemical giant Dow announced it would stop selling this
pollinator-killing, brain-damaging pesticide.

Thanks to pressure from members like you, we’ve convinced huge retailers and
manufacturers to stop stocking or producing products containing bee-killing
neonics, successfully transforming over 75% of the garden industry.

Now our next phase of the campaign is convincing grocery companies to wake up to
this threat. Supermarkets like Kroger could start insisting on sustainable,
organic food to sell in their stores. If these companies take action, it will increase the pressure on giant agribusiness corporations to stop producing food
grown with bee-killing pesticides.

Kroger is the nation’s largest conventional grocery chain. It owns stores like
Harris Teeter, Ralphs, and Smith’s. So it has a lot of power to change the way
we grow our food and help save bees and butterflies.

You have already helped Friends of the Earth make a difference in this fight. After years of pressure from members like you, Kroger put out a policy
supporting the expansion of organic food and products that are affordable for
many families.

This is a step in the right direction. But it doesn’t go nearly far enough. It's
vague and doesn’t commit the company to a time-bound phase-out of some of the
most toxic pesticides, like neonics and Roundup®, that are contributing to bee
and butterfly decline.

So we’re keeping up the fight. We recently tested Kroger-brand food specifically
for a wide array of these pesticides, which we found in Kroger-brand cereals,
apples, applesauce, spinach and beans -- foods families eat every day.

With your help, we can convince Kroger to get serious, and then take big steps
to help transform our food system from toxic and chemical intensive to healthy
and ecologically regenerative. But we have a long way to go.

We can’t do this without you, John. Please donate $27
or more by 11:59 pm tonight, so we can meet our goal of $31,000. Your gift will
be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $31,000!
