John,
We have a new plan to take on Bayer-Monsanto and their bee-killing
pesticides: buy up shares and fight them from the inside!
We’ve spent years taking on these giants, and we’ve had incredible
success. But their resources are endless, and they always find ways to
bully beekeepers and keep their poisons on shelves and in our food.
So here’s what we’ll do -- if enough people chip in, SumOfUs will buy
stock in Bayer-Monsanto -- then work to rally other shareholders, turn up
at their AGM, and ratchet up pressure on execs over their bee-killing
ways.
We know this works. Just last year a SumOfUs shareholder resolution forced
Apple to publish its first-ever human rights policy. Now it’s Monsanto’s
turn.
For the next 24 hours we’ll use everything you give to generate matching
donations from big funders, doubling your impact -- can you help buy a
piece of Bayer-Monsanto and save the bees?

We’ve been so successful with our shareholding program that the US stock
regulator is actually changing its rules to try to shut us down!
They’re doing it with a new rule -- anyone who wants to bring resolutions
like the one we used to beat Apple will need to hold thousands of dollars
worth of shares. And they let companies set VERY early deadlines to buy
the necessary stocks.
These companies and regulators are doing all they can to silence everyone
but the richest shareholders. But we’re out to beat them at their own
game, bringing our community together to buy stocks in some of the
biggest, baddest corporations... and taking our campaigning right into
their board rooms.
We started with Apple, and we're buying Google and Facebook stock too. Now
it's time for Big Ag to see what we can do. Can you help hold
Bayer-Monsanto to account? (Remember, your donation will be used to get
matching donations!)
