Donald Trump is ready to bless a merger between chemical giants Monsanto and Bayer as a key piece of his legacy. It'll be disastrous for us and our planet! But regulators in the US and Europe can stop the deal -- and our public opposition has already beaten Monsanto twice! Join the new call and share widely:
This is urgent! Trump is ready to bless a merger between chemical giants Monsanto and Bayer to create a $100 billion agribusiness beast designed to dominate our earth's food system.
It's not only bad business to allow one company to grow this huge, it's against the law. And two little known regulators in the US and Europe can stop the deal. The problem is they're being pounded by lobbying from two of the world's most powerful corporations and a President hell-bent on seeing the deal succeed.
Only a massive movement like ours can counter the assault.
We beat Monsanto twice last year in exactly this way, but this time we need unprecedented numbers to show the regulators people everywhere want to stop a megaplan backed by President Trump. Add your name:
Monsanto and Bayer combined would dominate global crops and pesticides, and control our food system! And these are companies that have poisoned bee populations, river water, food and created seeds that die after one generation so that small farmers remain loyal customers under crippling debt.
Bayer and Monsanto met with Trump before he took office and he released a statement afterwards taking credit for large pieces of the merger megaplan. But luckily the EU's competition commissioner still has the power to block the deal and the US antitrust chief can file a lawsuit if they decide it goes against the public interest.
Both regulators are under massive pressure to waive the deal through. But we've foiled this kind of contract before. Let's build a call so strong that these public defenders move to protect the common good:
>> Click to stop this monster marriage made in hell
We already blocked the license renewal of Monsanto's biggest product, glyphosate, and helped ban one of Bayer's bee-killing pesticides in Europe. Let's show them that even if they try to team up, we will stand up and fight together for our health, our food, our farms, and our earth.
With determination,
