(Monsanto/Bayer proposed merger) We need to stop this nightmare merger

Dear Friends,

In just a few weeks Bayer and Monsanto are getting ready to file their merger with antitrust authorities in Europe and the U.S.. If they succeed, we are facing a nightmare scenario: more bee-killing neonics in our fields, more toxic glyphosate on our plates, and more corporate control over our food supply. Here is an email you can share with your friends:

Regulators can still stop this merger, but they’re already getting hammered by corporate lobbyists pressuring them to back off.

That’s why we need to move fast — antitrust regulators have a limited amount of time to take action, and the clock is already ticking.

Can you sign the petition please? Here is the link: https://actions.sumofus.org/a/stop-the-monsanto-bayer-mega-merger-nightmare/

Thanks!
