Folks...Please join me and send a message to Australia's Finance minister
Joe Hockey and world's G20 finance ministers to stop stealing from the
poor...

People in some of the world's poorest countries are being deprived of one
trillion dollars every year.

Criminals are secretly siphoning off cash through money laundering, tax
evasion and embezzlement. Not just a little cash. One trillion dollars.

We're not talking about international aid, which is making a real and
tangible difference, but money taken from developing countries’ own budgets
and economies.

Imagine what just a fraction of that money could do if it was invested in
helping families lift themselves out of poverty for good.

*This is a Trillion Dollar Scandal and it’s up to us to tell world leaders
to stop it. *

In just a few weeks, finance ministers from the world’s 20 most powerful
countries are meeting in Australia. They've got the power to help put an
end to these deals - but only if we make this scandal impossible to ignore.

*Tweet or send a message to Australia’s Finance Minister Joe Hockey right
now and tell him it's time for the world’s poorest to get their
$1,000,000,000,000 back.*

It might seem like there’s nothing you can do to help. But if this issue is
on the finance ministers’ agenda when they meet, we could see our leaders
commit to some powerful new rules.

*So here’s the plan:* Tweet Joe Hockey, the Australian finance minister
<http://act.one.org/go/1992?t=3&utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&akid=6113.4699678.OsyOEc>.
He's chairing the meeting and setting the agenda. And not just a couple of
tweets, but thousands for all the world to see. Urge him to make history
and end this trillion dollar scandal.

That's only phase one - we'll have more ideas to get leaders to act, so
stay tuned.

*It's time to help the world's poorest people get their trillion dollars
back.*

Make sure our leaders know we mean business.
