Including Africa
I’m posting this on behalf of Josh:
Hi,
I just signed a petition asking Prime Minister Gordon Brown to include a representative from the African Union at the G20 – a group of leaders of the world’s twenty largest economies – summit in the UK this spring. This will be a key summit for shaping the road the world takes out of the financial crisis, and it’s crucial that the world’s poorest people be a part of that process.
I hope that you’ll join me in taking action here: http://www.one.org/international/includeafrica/?rc=includeafricataf
This is an exceptional opportunity to get a seat at the table for developing nations. If they play a role in remaking the world’s financial systems, it’s significantly more likely that they will be able to reap the rewards of those systems. That’s a big step in helping people work their way out of poverty.
Thanks
Josh
Well guys, it worked, Gordon Brown has invited a representative from the African Union to join the G20 talks in London in April so good job!
If you follow this link you can add your name to a “thanks for inviting, please don’t forget to listen” note that will be delivered to 10 Downing Street by the One campaign.

This really is a great opportunity to reshape the whole global financial system, imagine if it was reshaped to benefit all (especially the poorest), rather than the richest!!!
