Bee populations are plummeting. And scientists are pointing to toxic bee-killing pesticides known as neonicotinoids as a cause.

We’re fighting in court and partnering with other groups to demand action now to save bees, but we need your help.

Join us and 4 million Americans to tell President Obama to suspend the use of toxic bee-killing pesticides now!

These pesticides make the whole plant poisonous to insects, including the nectar and pollen, which bees eat. At miniscule doses the pesticides can kill bees outright, but even at doses that may not kill immediately, they impair bees’ ability to breed, forage, fight disease, and survive the winter.

Nearly one-third of our crops—including many vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds—depend on bees for pollination.

We cannot delay action any longer.

Take action today and help us ensure that these pesticides do not become the final straw for bees.

Thank you for your help,

Greg Loarie
Attorney

Leaks show HSBC helped thousands of the mega-rich dodge their taxes! We’d go to jail for this, but governments won’t prosecute them unless we demand it. Let’s raise a million-strong call to two key officials and deliver it via ads and legislators. No one is too big to jail:

I’m so grateful for the tremendous amount of support and guidance I’ve received since starting VoteVets almost eight years ago. Leaders like General (Ret.) Clark, Major General (Ret.) Eaton, and so many others have helped grow this organization into what it is today.

But you, have played such an important role in our evolution as well. Our organizational strength comes from the 400,000+ veterans, military family members, and VoteVets’ supporters fighting for veterans at home and abroad.

As we continue our work with a new Congress and opportunities to elect so many great, progressive veteran leaders in 2016, I hope you’ll consider becoming a sustaining member of VoteVets with your $10 contribution today. Your contribution helps us plan and budget for the long-term, secure in the knowledge we’ll have the resources we need to fight back against the Tea Party fringe hell-bent on creating more war, and less jobs.

Thanks for being such an important part of VoteVets.

All my best,

Jon Soltz Iraq War Veteran and Chairman
