We're about to beat Monsanto -- 4 days left!

Our ads are going live! But pro-glyphosate ads are flooding Facebook -- if just 13,000 of us donate now we can counter with 3 MILLION MORE ads before the vote! We've only got 4 days left - Chip in now Dear friends, This is massive: we could be about to beat Monsanto, crumbling the cornerstone of its billion-dollar empire! Six times Europe has tried to get Monsanto's toxic mega-killer glyphosate relicensed. Six times we've blocked it -- and now opposition is so strong we could win a total ban. There's only four days until the vote, and France and Germany are the key. They just temporarily stopped the relicensing, but now they're under huge pressure to cave -- social media is covered with pro-glyphosate ads, and Monsanto's unleashing an army of lobbyists to protect their poison. So we've got a plan to counter them. Avaaz just got a deal to buy online ads and plaster Politico, Le Monde and Spiegel, three of the top news outlets read by EU decision makers, every single day until Europe votes. If 40,000 of us chip in now, we can beat Monsanto. We're so close to getting this killer chemical off our shelves -- donate now: I'LL DONATE R$7 I'LL DONATE R$14 I'LL DONATE R$28 I'LL DONATE R$56 I'LL DONATE R$112 OTHER AMOUNT Monsanto thought that getting glyphosate's licence renewed would just be a rubber stamp, even though top scientists said it probably causes cancer. But after a mega-petition with two million Avaazers, thousands of messages to ministers, polls, ads, and scientific and legal presentations, the media says we've "blindsided" Monsanto! A win in Europe will threaten Monsanto's entire business model, worldwide -- glyphosate is the most commonly used weed killer! Countries from the US to Australia are watching closely. If Europe acts now, it would start a ripple effect that could finally mean a global ban. If enough of us chip in now, Avaaz can launch an emergency campaign to beat Monsanto with urgent mobilisations, meetings, and media work across Europe. We're extraordinarily close to banishing this poison -- now let's win: I'LL DONATE R$7 I'LL DONATE R$14 I'LL DONATE R$28 I'LL DONATE R$56 I'LL DONATE R$112 OTHER AMOUNT Against the odds we've been beating one of the most powerful corporations in the world. For two years. At every vote. We're now at the last hurdle. Let's all pitch in, and ensure this chemical isn't poisoning us and our planet.
