Clean up global finance

Tell the UK government to clean up global finance at the UN financial crisis summit.

The financial crisis is having a massive impact on the world's poorest countries, even though they had nothing to do with causing it, with at least 50 million more people pushed into poverty and fears of a new debt crisis.

April's G20 London summit failed to put people first in its response to the crisis, instead backing the same policies and institutions that have led to the crisis.

From 24-26 June 2009, the UN is holding a three-day summit of world leaders to consider the impact of the crisis on international development, and what can be done about it. 

The summit - which brings together all 192 member nations - is a second chance to get the world back on track. But G20 countries have been trying to marginalise the summit, and keep the more ambitious proposals for reform off the table.

TAKE ACTION
Will you demand the UK government takes the UN summit seriously, and calls for measures that will clean up global finance?
