If you’re a farmer, your voice is needed now more than ever before. Monsanto shareholders are meeting to vote on Bayer’s take-over offer in a couple of weeks.
We want to hear from you about why stopping this merger is important.
You can help us take our campaign to the next level -- and we need your support today.
We will share your personal testimony in a video the day Monsanto’s shareholders meet to sign off on the merger from hell. Your story is powerful -- it can make a difference and ensure that those most affected by the merger get a voice.
Send a message to Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant and tell him why you oppose the Bayer-Monsanto deal.
Lawmakers and regulators will keep a close watch on the upcoming vote by Monsanto shareholders. If the public and shareholders stay silent, it is more likely that the deal will pass without due scrutiny. Sharing your testimony will help to convince the lawmakers and regulators that this merger needs to be rejected.
If the deal is successful, it'll make the new corporation the biggest seed maker and pesticide company in the world -- and it will have almost total control of the most important aspects of our food supply. Farmers are set out to lose the most -- prices for seeds and pesticides will rise when just one company is in charge of everything.
Your voice is powerful. If you are a farmer, please tell us why you oppose the merger. If you are not a farmer you can still help. Please share this with any farmers you know and sign the petition targeting antitrust officials here.
Thanks to the SumOfUs community we have been able to make great strides to stop this merger. Our legal White Paper is making the rounds in Washington and having real impact on regulators’ investigation into this deal. Our experts and lawyers -- funded by small donations from SumOfUs members around the world -- are working behind the scenes with senators to increase scrutiny of the mega deal. Their work is crucial to complicate what are already expected to be tough and lengthy reviews by U.S. antitrust enforcers.
This is why we have to make sure our protest is heard. Use your voice to help get the message out to the public about this merger from hell and convince antitrust officials at the Department of Justice to reject the deal.
Tell us why you are against the Monsanto deal.
