Cash & Power = Right to Subjugate & Harass Others?


DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE








A new study found that 75% of the world’s honey is contaminated with bee-killing pesticides.  This shows how much control pesticide companies have over our food system. And they’re trying to gain even more. Bayer the Bee-Slayer is trying to merge with Monsanto the Butterfly-Killer.  Bees are dying at alarming rates. Monarch butterflies are declining. And a new study found that 80 percent of the insects in Germany have declined over the past three decades. One of the key culprits is the massive increase in the use of pesticides.  These pesticides are harming our health and our food system. But they’re generating millions in profits for Bayer and Monsanto. This merger is one way the companies are trying to shore up their control and double down on toxic industrial-scale, chemical-intensive agriculture.  The new company is taking on $60 billion in debt in order to merge. How’s it going to pay it back? By making as much profit as it can, as fast as it can. That means manufacturing even more toxic products at the expense of our environment and planet. 
If this merger goes through, we’d be giving a single corporation unprecedented control of our food supply. The impacts on farmers and consumers could be huge. We can’t let the future of our food system be handed over to Bayer and Monsanto.  This merger is happening as part of a massive wave of consolidation in our food system. Dow and DuPont just merged. So did ChemChina and Syngenta.  Bayer and Monsanto are trying to rush this deal through. Both companies have spent millions of dollars on lobbying. So far this year, Monsanto has paid 10 lobbying firms $2.2 million dollars and Bayer has spent $4.9 million. These companies are aggressively pushing for approval of the merger.  But this isn’t a done deal. Together, we can stop this mega-merger from being approved.
ACT NOW! Tell the Department of Justice to block this mega-merger and protect consumers, farmers, workers and the environment.
Standing with you,
