Great news, John:

We've scored another palm oil victory, thanks to you!

Earlier this year, your pressure got Pepsi to change its ways and unveil
an industry-leading palm oil sourcing policy. Now you and I are leveraging
a shareholder revolution against KFC and Pizza Hut owner Yum! Brands --
the largest fast food company in the world -- for its weak stance on
deforestation.

We crashed Yum!'s biggest meeting of the year to present a shareholder
proposal to get deforestation off the fast food giant's menus. And despite
all of Yum's efforts to silence us, we won 35 percent of the vote -- 3
percent more than last year!

deforestation off the menu"

KFC execs are shook, and it all thanks to generous donations from SumOfUs
members -- and without your continued support will won't be able to force
KFC and Yum! Brands into action.

John, it's all thanks to your regular donations -- and your
continued support will force Yum! Brands and KFC into action. [ [link removed] ]Would you
like to make a one-off gift to keep our rainforests safe from Yum!
Brands?

This is huge. Yum! advised against our proposal and even had its lawyers
ask the US Securities and Exchange Commission to scrub it off the meeting
agenda. But in the end, Yum! couldn't hide the truth: more and more
shareholders want KFC and Pizza Hut to do better to protect our forests.

There’s still lots to do to save the habitat of endangered species like
orangutans, Sumatran tigers, rhinos and pygmy elephants. If we're going to
build on our victory and force Yum! to adopt a cross-commodity policy that
protects workers, rainforests and the climate, we need to start right
away.

John, it was your regular donations that got us this far -- and
your continued support will see us through until KFC and Pizza Hut take
long-overdue action. [ [link removed] ]Would you like to make a one-off gift to keep our
rainforests safe from Yum! Brands and other deforestation
villains?



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