bottle with the "Monsanto" logo and a skull-and-crossbones hazard symbol.
It is placed in front of the European Commission building, with an EU flag
and part of the institution’s name visible in the background, while a
woman stands nearby.
John,
Bayer-Monsanto is in hot water. It’s been ordered to pay out BILLIONS in
damages over claims that its toxic products are linked to cancer. It's
bleeding money from waves of lawsuits and its stock price has plummeted.
These lawsuits are working! And if we can help keep them coming, it could
finally finish Bayer off – and send its bee-killing, cancer-linked
chemicals into history.
But many of Bayer’s victims, like 18-year-old Théo Grataloup, don’t have
enough money to take them to court and get the justice they
deserve. That’s where we come in.
If everyone reading this chips in just a small amount, we’d have enough
to launch a powerful legal fund for Bayer’s victims – helping more
desperate people access legal advice and get their day in court. Every win
will get us closer to a future free of poisonous pesticides.
Can you chip in now to help take Bayer down?

Since birth, Théo has been unable to breathe, eat, or express himself. He
spent the first months of his life intubated thanks to severe
malformations of the esophagus and larynx, and has had to endure a
shocking 55 surgeries over the course of his short life. Théo is now
breathing through a tracheostomy and speaking with an esophageal voice.
Seeing no other explanation for his condition, Théo’s doctor wondered if
pesticides could be to blame. And then his mother Sabine made the
heartbreaking connection: she had used glyphosate early in her pregnancy,
during the stage when the fetus's oesophagus and trachea develop.
Ever since, Sabine has been fighting to hold Bayer-Monsanto to account.
Théo and Sabine’s court date is finally just WEEKS away, but the family
urgently needs to raise the funds to pay their legal fees.
If Sabine and Théo win, it will be the FIRST time Bayer-Monsanto is held
responsible for damages caused by exposure to glyphosate during pregnancy,
setting a precedent for thousands of other children in France.
With all of us chipping in, we can help get justice for victims like Théo,
then keep working to hold Bayer-Monsanto and other pesticide giants to
account. Are you in?
