Can you contact a Member of the European Parliament and ask them to vote against the reform of the European agricultural budget? 

Here are some talking points - but it’s always most effective when you write in your own words: 

• The reform is a threat to biodiversity and the planet: Weakening or eliminating environmental standards in farming makes it harder to combat climate change and biodiversity loss
• The reform fails to address the real needs of farmers. Small and organic farmers have already published a statement saying that they are against this reform 
• The only ones benefiting from this reform are huge industrial agriculture and big players like Bayer-Monsanto - not farmers
  
  And here are some tips on how to structure your message: 
  
  

• Be personal: we know personal messages are more impactful. Speak from the heart and explain why you care about a clean and safe environment.
• To the point: try to keep your message short.
• Ask for a response: It’s always worth making clear that you’d like them to consider your message and respond. 
• Don’t forget to say thank you and sign your message.
