Dear friends, The global economic crisis is worsening, leaders are meeting at the G20 London Summit to decide what to do - *sign the emergency petition to press them for a green recovery and a global rescue package:* *Take Action Now!*<http://www.avaaz.org/en/global_economic_rescue/?cl=208216417&v=3085> Within days, *world leaders are meeting at the London G20 Summit* to tackle the global economic crisis -- *we desperately need them to agree to invest in a green recovery* and a bold global rescue package of stimulus, regulation and fundamental reform. But without *a massive outcry for bold action in the next few days,* our leaders could fail this historic test. So we’re launching an emergency petition to the London Summit -- it will be *delivered direct to summit officials and leaders and in a thousands-strong march this weekend, follow this link to add your voice:* *http://www.avaaz.org/en/global_economic_rescue<http://www.avaaz.org/en/global_economic_rescue/?cl=208216417&v=3085> * *A global depression could threaten everything we care about* - breeding poverty, war, environmental devastation and threatening our jobs and our children's futures. *But there is a way to stop it* -- a powerful, coordinated rescue package where governments governments agree to invest in a green recovery together, make funds available to prevent vulnerable emerging economies from collapsing, properly regulate global financial markets and democratise institutions like the International Monetary Fund. Leaders are far from consensus on this kind of bold global action - that’s why we’re pressing them with this citizens’ call and taking to the streets. The world's media will be in London to cover the summit, and with thousands of Avaaz members in green hard hats and carrying flags and banners on our behalf, *the march will get big coverage and grab leaders’ attention.* Everyone who participates will also have a chance to vote on the principles and reforms needed to rebuild the global economy -- and all our demands will be *delivered to the G20 summit, so please sign the petition now:* *http://www.avaaz.org/en/global_economic_rescue<http://www.avaaz.org/en/global_economic_rescue/?cl=208216417&v=3085> * In 1933, world leaders met in London -- and failed to stop a global depression that lasted a decade. *In 2009, the people of the world must be right there challenging our leaders, demanding that they get it right.* With hope and determination, Paul, Graziela, Ricken, Paula, Ben, Brett, Luis, Alice, Milena, Iain and the whole Avaaz team ------------------------------ <https://secure.avaaz.org/en/footer_donations/index.php?d_cl=&v=> *ABOUT AVAAZ* Avaaz.org is an independent, not-for-profit global campaigning organization that works to ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform global decision-making.
