*[Enwl-eng] Save Bees And Farmers

[ENWL]

            Wow, we did it! The European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) “Save 
Bees and Farmers!” ended at midnight last Thursday with well over a MILLION 
votes -- and that's not even counting signatures still to be collated from 
paper signup sheets.

            Bayer/Monsanto and their pack of pesticide-making buddies won't 
be happy with this result, but this email isn’t about them. It’s about 
remembering our power.

            You see, most ECI petitions fail to hit the 1-million signatures 
minimum required by the EU. And frankly, only a few months ago I thought 
this one was a lost cause, too. I’m so glad you proved me wrong!


            We had a massive surge in signatures right at the end, thanks to 
you. Many people only found the ECI webpage thanks to the online ads that 
SumOfUs members like you funded. Because of strict privacy rules we can't 
tell if you signed, but either way, you helped the coalition get to a 
whopping 1,161,256 signatures by midnight last Thursday. So THANKS A 
MILLION!

            Once the ECI is validated by the European Commission, both the 
Commission and the European Parliament will have to respond -- but that won’t 
be for months. In the meantime, there’s still plenty we can do against the 
pesticide lobby, but only if we hold together.

            This win showed the chemical giants what the SumOfUs community 
can do. Will you make a donation to keep the fight against toxic pesticides 
going?
