Patrick,

Monsanto was put on trial last month because of you. SumOfUs members donated so people from all over the world could travel to The Hague, Netherlands, and give evidence to the International Monsanto Tribunal.

Great news: the Tribunal was hugely successful! 750 people from over 30 nationalities participated in it and the related People’s Assembly. Eminent judges heard from witnesses, experts and victims about Monsanto’s abuses. Soon, the Tribunal’s advice could really be putting Monsanto in the spotlight  -- at the UN’s International Court of Justice.

Monsanto are finally being taken to task. And the International Monsanto Tribunal wanted to pass on this message, to say thanks for chipping in:

“Your generosity made this possible. Thanks to all the SumOfUs members who donated to this initiative, we have been able to insure these witnesses could travel from all over the world to The Hague and their precious testimonies be heard by the judges and become part of the procedure.”

This is what being involved in SumOfUs is all about: pooling our strength to make sure people come before profit.

Together, we’ve made a big dent in Monsanto’s destructive way of doing business. But SumOfUs supporters are fighting Monsanto on other fronts too. Right now, ordinary people are also chipping in to stop the nightmare merger of Monsanto and Bayer, which would mean our entire food supply controlled by a few mega-corporations.

You’ve already given so generously so far. But if you’re able to spare just a little more to help stop the dangerous deal between Monsanto and Bayer, then please do here. Either way, you’re doing great work and thanks again for being involved.

Thanks for all you do,

Paul, Nabil and the team at SumOfUs
