                        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?

            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.

            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.

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

            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.

            Thanks for all that you do,
