<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Agricultural giants could change the future of our food forever.</B>
They are fencing off our natural world for their own profit by claiming
ownership of dozens of crops – like the barley used to make beer. <B>All because
a few loopholes in European law are ripe for exploitation.</B> [1]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Today, access to seeds means any farmer can grow the food we need. But
if these plans go ahead, agricultural giants will open the flood gates to
stealing away something no one should own – our natural world. They’ll control
who can grow and the costs – <B>destroying the futures of thousands of family
farmers.</B> [2] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>If this isn't on the agenda when officials meet in two weeks, our chance
to close these dangerous loopholes could pass by. <B>But the good news is: we
knew this would happen and we’re prepared to act.</B> To do that, we’ll have to
make a big splash.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>So, imagine this.</B> Our partners deliver crops of barley they’ve
grown across European farms this year to the meeting – showing how many depend
on the seeds. It causes a stir in the meeting as the officials discuss the
stunt. Then, a video explaining the growth and importance of these seeds goes
online. Adverts ensure it features all over social media. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We can dominate workplace conversations for weeks.</B> The officials
won’t be able to avoid it, resolving loopholes will be back on the
agenda.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>How about it</B><STRONG>, </STRONG><B>are you in?</B> If we are
going to ensure these loopholes are closed, we need the resources to act fast.
</BIG></P>

<P><BIG><B>When in May 2020 the European Patent Office accepted that
conventionally-bred plants are not for anyone to own, it was a big step
forward.</B> [3] But the agricultural giants haven’t given up the fight to take
control of our food. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Back then, we won because we showed the true scale of opposition,
working with our partners at No Patents on Seeds.</B> Now, as the danger of
loopholes has flown under the radar, they’re asking for our help in launching it
onto the agenda.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>As a small dedicated group, they know they can’t meet this moment alone.
<B>Luckily, we are a community of over a million people who never shy away from
meeting moments like this head-on. </B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>We’ve worked out the costs, and need €16,148 to pull this off. With that
money we can fund:</BIG></P>
<OL>
<LI><BIG>Hiring a videographer to capture the delivery stunt in person as well
as interview those affected.</BIG>
<LI><BIG>Producing a short video with the footage and advertising it all over
the internet in these weeks, connecting with as many employees as possible at
the office with the power to make this decision.</BIG>
<LI><BIG>Reaching out to top European media outlets to secure coverage on the
issue and increase the voices pressuring decision-makers.</BIG> </LI></OL>
<P><BIG><B>There’s no doubt about it, the agricultural giants have deep pockets.
</B>You can bet they’ll be pouring those resources into this fight. But, if we
move together we can make great things happen. If every one of us who reads this
right now gives just a little, we could match them blow for blow. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>So, if you think that nature shouldn't be for anyone to own, will you
chip in now to get this plan off the ground?</BIG></P>

If granted ownership over our seeds, agricultural giants will go to any length
to squeeze out profit from family farms. We’ve seen it happen already in the
United States:
