Hi A,
In less than a week, European politicians are voting on whether to block a historic new ban on bee-killing neonics.
A small group of industry-backed politicians is trying to stop the critical new protections -- which would ban three deadly neonics from fields all across Europe -- before EU member states even get to vote on it.
This is why a massive outcry has never been more important than it is right now.
Already, nearly 250,000 people have joined our voices together to call for a global ban on deadly bee-killing neonic pesticides. Will you share this petition to show politicians and industry lobbyists that we're watching this crucial vote on June 22nd -- and that people all around the world will hold them accountable for their actions?

Thanks for standing up for the pollinators!

Dear Friends,
A historic ban on bee-killing neonics is being proposed in Europe -- but the pesticide lobby and its political friends are desperately trying to stop it.
The new ban on bee-killing pesticides would go far beyond current protections, banning three deadly neonics from fields all across Europe. But a small group of politicians is trying to block it before EU member states even get to vote on the new regulations.
Meanwhile, a scathing new UN report called the idea that we need neonics to feed ourselves a “myth” perpetuated by “unethical” corporations like Bayer and Syngenta that have millions in profits riding on continued reliance on bee-killing pesticides. It's high time for a global ban on these deadly pesticides.
I've taken action. Can you click here and add your voice to the call for a global ban on bee-killing pesticides too?
