Include Africa
Petition
This spring, leaders from 20 of the world’s largest economies will come together for the G20 summit in the United Kingdom. They’ll be discussing the global financial system, and working on setting a course for the world to get out of the financial crisis. It is crucial that a representative from the African Union be present at those meeting to represent many of the world’s poorest nations, and give voice to their concerns.
As host of the upcoming G20 summit, Prime Minister Gordon Brown can invite a representative of the African Union to participate.
Sign the petition calling on 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: http://www.one.org/international/includeafrica/?rc=includeafricataf
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.
