Bayer -- one of the world's biggest producers of bee-killing pesticides -- is about to hold its annual shindig for shareholders.
This gives us a crucial opportunity to take the fight to Bayer, and show its shareholders exactly what is being done in their name.
Bayer has been fighting tooth and nail to overturn Europe’s bee-killing pesticide ban. They've been busy fighting in court, lobbying behind-the-scenes and spending wads of cash in the process. Why? Because Bayer knows if Europe’s ban stays, it spells the end of its profits from selling bee-killing neonics.
SumOfUs was created to stand up to corporations putting profits ahead of our environment and our health. So we’re planning to take the fight to Bayer by sending a group of beekeepers to speak out inside the Bayer shareholder meeting, and make sure Bayer’s shareholders know about the campaign.
Please can you chip in today to challenge Bayer at its shareholder meeting?
