Banned neonics are still being doused all over Europe.

Beekeepers are ready to sue governments who are letting this happen -- but
they urgently need to pay the legal fees.

Can you chip in to keep bee-killers banned?

John,

Bayer is fuming: the EU’s top court has ruled to uphold a ban on
bee-killing pesticides.

So Bayer and its pesticide cronies are playing rough -- pressuring
national governments to slip toxic neonics through an “emergency” loophole
in the law.

Make no mistake -- this is a tactic pesticide companies will repeat over
and over until it destroys this bee-saving ban.

That’s why a small group of beekeepers is preparing to sue against these
fake “emergencies” -- and force governments to properly enforce the ban.
But this won’t be just one lawsuit -- this could take years of constant
legal battles until Bayer and Big Ag give up.

So we need to be ready. Just
$1
today will go into a mega-legal fund for beekeepers to access the minute
they need to sue governments for spraying toxic neonics. People-powered
lawsuits have always been our best weapon against the likes of Bayer --
can you chip in to close this bee-killing loophole?



[ [link removed] ]Yes! I’ll donate
$1
to save the bees from Bayer’s toxic pesticides.

Here’s what’s happening: a ban on bee-killing neonics was passed years
back in the EU. Bayer just lost an appeal to overturn this law. But the
pesticide lobby has found another tactic to keep its poisons on our
fields: backing industrial farms to come up with “emergencies” to dodge
the rules.

Every minute, field after field is soaking in bee-killing poisons. And
bees are still dropping dead.

People like you fought for and won this historic bee-saving ban on
pesticides. So you can fight to save it too.

These beekeepers are ready to sue any national government that is caving
in to Bayer, Syngenta and other pesticide bullies’ lobbying: but without
financial backing, they won’t be able to pay the lawyers.

So today, we’re asking if you’ll help create the world’s first mega-legal
fund to save Europe’s bees. Beekeepers and bee-defenders everywhere can
access it whenever they’re up against Bayer, and keep toxic neonics banned
forever.
