<P>Bees are dying off at record rates -- and a new study just
revealed farmers are being sold pesticides that are <STRONG>killing
twice as many bees as previously thought.</STRONG></P>
<P>That's why we've joined beekeepers across Europe to collect one
million signatures for a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), which
could <STRONG>force the EU to take urgent action to ban Bayer's
toxic pesticides and save the bees.</STRONG></P>
<P>But there's a problem -- thanks to COVID it’s been difficult to
collect signatures in person, and <STRONG>the deadline is coming
up</STRONG> at the end of this month.</P>
<P>We're so close... just 245,000 signatures to go -- will you take
one minute and chip in $2 to <STRONG>fund a final digital ads push
to put us over the top</STRONG> and save the bees?</P>

<P>Out of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world's food, 70 are
pollinated by bees. So if we don't act fast to protect them from the
pesticides causing their collapse, we're at risk too.</P>
<P>That's why this ECI is so important -- if we succeed, we'll set
in motion <STRONG>new ironclad protections for bees across
Europe</STRONG>, setting the stage for further action around the
globe.</P>
<P><STRONG>The ECI process was always going to be an uphill
climb</STRONG> -- we need to gather one million signatures from more
than seven European countries. The process for collecting them is
burdensome, and it’s followed by a rigorous analysis to make sure
every single signature is valid.</P>
<P>But it’s worth it. With the help of an ECI, the European
Commission has promised to end caged farming in Europe! And if
<STRONG>we can show European politicians that there is a massive
movement fighting to save the bees</STRONG>, they will finally be
forced to act.</P>
<P><STRONG>We've got fewer than 2 weeks to get the final signatures
we need</STRONG> -- but you can fund this final push to save the
bees. Will you chip in today?</P>
