<P><STRONG>The French government just destroyed your historic ban on
bee-killing pesticides. </STRONG></P>
<P>SumOfUs members like you fought tirelessly for this ban --
forcing <STRONG>France to become the first country ever to ban ALL
neonics. </STRONG></P>
<P>But today France's President Emmanuel Macron ripped that ban to
shreds. He’s caved to the pesticide industry, and passed a law that
will let <STRONG>industrial farms douse field after field with
bee-killing poison -- until 2023. </STRONG></P>
<P>It’s <STRONG>a death sentence for already struggling
bees</STRONG> -- and a slap in the face for bee-defenders around the
world fighting for their own national neonic bans.</P>
<P>We still have time to stop Macron. That means going head to head
with Bayer and its army of ruthless lobbyists. They’re working round
the clock to keep Macron on side -- so we need to scale up now and
fast.</P>
<P>Your donation today will <STRONG>launch an emergency campaign and
pay for polling, ads, billboards and grassroots events to convince
Macron to save the bees</STRONG>, not Bayer’s profits. We’ve got a
fighting chance, but we need to get cracking now.</P>

<P>We’re in a worldwide fight to save bees from toxic pesticides.
<STRONG>These poisons have proven to be a leading cause of death of
whole bee colonies.</STRONG> The latest research shows that bees
exposed to these pesticides fly only a third of the distance that
unexposed bees can.</P>
<P>But when hundreds of thousands of <STRONG>SumOfUs members like
you came together to demand bans on these pesticides, you
won.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Your victory in France was historic,</STRONG> and it set
the stage for the rest of the world to join and save the bees
everywhere. We can’t let Bayer’s crew take that away.</P>
<P>Bayer and co’s cashed-up lobbyists are hoping bee-defenders are
too weary from the pandemic to stand up to them anymore. But they’re
forgetting the real magic of SumOfUs members: <STRONG>just a few
coins from people like you around the world could be enough to break
Bayer’s stranglehold on Macron</STRONG> -- and give the bees a
fighting chance.</P>
<P>We don’t have a moment to lose. <STRONG>To truly pull off this
emergency campaign we'll need to give it our all, without worrying
about the money in the bank.</STRONG> Please, can you chip in today
to rescue your bee-saving ban?</P>
