<P>Bayer is using the Coronavirus as an excuse to shut bee
protectors out of its shareholder meeting -- even though they have a
legal right to be there!</P>
<P>Holding its shareholder meeting online means Bayer has total
control over who speaks and who participates.</P>
<P><STRONG>But with your help, we’ll make sure that this plan will
backfire.</STRONG></P>
<P>If you chip in $1 we’ll buy online ads to redirect all
journalists <STRONG>searching for “Bayer AGM” on
Google</STRONG> to <EM>our</EM> online stream where beekeepers will
be speaking the truth about Bayer's bee-killing pesticides.</P>
<P>The online shareholder meeting is already coming up on Tuesday --
we need to rapidly launch these ads to hack Bayer's PR show.</P>

<P>Most companies have moved the date of their shareholder meetings
because of the coronavirus.</P>
<P>But not Bayer. That means we need to get creative to get the
message from beekeepers across.</P>
<P>With our ads, we’re targeting journalists and shareholders
looking for Bayer’s meeting online. <STRONG>It’ll be a PR disaster
for Bayer. </STRONG></P>
<P>In past years, when Bayer held its AGM, SumOfUs members like you
were there, making a ruckus and supporting beekeepers to get their
message across to Bayer’s shareholders.</P>
<P><STRONG>Together, we’ve had some real impact.</STRONG> Last year,
your protests led to the Bayer board not being ratified -- this is
the first time that’s happened in the history of German
companies.</P>
<P><STRONG>Bayer is sick and tired of disruption.</STRONG> Bosses
think taking the meeting online will make it a smooth event. Oh, how
wrong they could be if we can crash the party -- <STRONG>with your
help.</STRONG></P>
