G20 - People in, corporate sponsors out
suzywire:
It’s unbelievable. The G20 - the most powerful summit of world governments - meets tomorrow to discuss the global economic crisis, and who is sponsoring the meeting? Banks and corporations!
No wonder the site of the meeting - the French city of Cannes - is completely locked down to any ordinary citizens, while banks and large corporate CEOs have all access passes to tell our governments what to do.
Corporations have captured our governments, winning vast corporate bailouts despite destroying our economy. Now they arebuying their way into the very meeting that could decide the financial future for much of the globe. Together we can persuade summit host Nicolas Sarkozy to cancel the sponsorship - let’s build a massive public outcry that causes a media firestorm and forces Sarkozy to kick out the corporate sponsors and clean up the G20. Sign the petition!
