G20 – People In, Corporations Out.

by Mira Tekelova

Following is the campaign of Avaaz that you might be interested to support:

It’s unbelievable. The G20 — the most powerful summit of world governments — meets today to discuss the global economic crisis, and who is sponsoring the meeting? Banks and corporations!

No wonder the site of the meeting — the French city of Cannes — is completely locked down to any ordinary citizens, while banks and large corporate CEOs have all access passes to tell our governments what to do.

Corporations and banks have captured our governments, winning vast bailouts after helping to create the crisis. Now they are buying their way into the very meeting that could decide the world’s financial future. Together we can persuade summit President Nicolas Sarkozy to cancel the sponsorship — let’s build a massive public outcry that causes a media firestorm and forces Sarkozy to kick out the corporate sponsors and clean up the G20.

Sign the petition and forward widely:
