Hi John, I just wanted to make sure you saw this: Bayer is trying to squash the Europe-wide ban on bee-killing pesticides. Beekeepers are fighting back in court, but they have over 50,000 Euros in unpaid legal bills. They're exhausted and desperately need your help. Can you chip in to save the bees from Bayer? Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Thanks for all that you do,
Here’s the original email with more information:
John, A courageous group of beekeepers is fighting a court battle to protect their bees from Bayer's bee-killing pesticides. And they badly need your help right now, John. In just a few weeks the court will make a decision on the Europe-wide ban of neonicotinoid pesticides. Bayer's lawyers have been trying to bury the beekeepers with paperwork. And the beekeepers are exhausted. After months of legal bills, our brave beekeepers don't have the funds they need to continue -- and the added financial strain of the Covid-19 crisis has got their entire organisation on the verge of collapse. Only a last-minute injection of funds from you and other SumOfUs members can help them keep their lights on and stay in the game till Bayer's threat to the bees is defeated. Can you chip in $1 so they can keep going at this crucial moment? Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Yes, I'll chip in $1 to help the beekeepers defeat Bayer in court. This is a case of might versus right. Bayer has spent years appealing the ban on neonicotinoid pesticides. With its bottomless pockets and army of expensive lawyers, Bayer thinks it can bulldoze right over that hard-earned verdict. But Bayer forgot about something: You. You and the rest of the amazing SumOfUs community have always been there to protect the bees when they needed you, whether convincing the EU to pass its game-changing neonics ban or pushing US hardware stores to remove the bee-toxic pesticides from their shelves. SumOfUs members have been supporting the beekeepers' battle against Bayer from the very start, and it's only with your help that they'll be able to see it through. Please can you chip in $1 to get this case to the finish line and keep campaigning to protect the bees? Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card. Yes, I'll chip in $1 to help the beekeepers defeat Bayer in court.
