Bayer, Cargill, and Syngenta are about to get unprecedented power to shape
United Nations policies on food production.

Will you join the global movement to stop the UN from partnering with the
world’s most dangerous pesticide corporations?

John,

There are an estimated 385 million cases of acute pesticide poisonings
each year.

That means about 44% of farmers and agricultural workers around the world
are poisoned annually. And those numbers could rise if we don’t stop
Bayer’s latest power grab.

Right now, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is trying to
create a formal partnership with CropLife International -- the mega
lobbying group that represents Bayer, Cargill, Syngenta and over 300 other
pesticide companies.

Allies tell us that an announcement of the deal can come as early as this
month unless we stop this #ToxicAlliance.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition demanding that FAO stop the #ToxicAlliance with
CropLife.

CropLife’s sole purpose is to advocate for the use of its members’
products — which are hazardous pesticides and genetically modified seeds.
For decades, these products have locked farmers into ever-escalating
pesticide use, and systematically undermined the rights and welfare of the
majority of the world’s food producers.

John, unless we stop this #ToxicAlliance, the companies that
are poisoning farmers worldwide will get unprecedented access to power at
the United Nations.

[ [link removed] ]Join the global movement to save our food systems from Bayer, Cargill,
Syngenta, and the other CropLife companies.

SumOfUs members have worked for years to rid fields and gardens of
pesticides -- from pushing for bans on neonics to getting glyphosate off
store shelves. We can’t let the manufacturers of these harmful poisons
lobby their way to greater power.

Instead of partnering with CropLife, FAO should support people-led,
sustainable farming that mitigates climate change and reduces world
hunger.
