Put People First

David Golding of Make Poverty History North East has highlighted the Put people first coalition which says:"The financial crisis has graphically demonstrated to people in rich and poor countries that the current international economic system doesn't work. We need a radically different economic system which puts people and the planet first. The only sustainable way to rebuild the global system is to create a fair distribution of wealth that provides decent jobs and public services for all, to end global poverty and inequality and to build a green economy. I call upon the G20 leaders to Put People First when they meet in London on April 2nd." Why don't we add our names to this petition or go to the church service, march and rally in London on 28th March, just before the meeting of the G20 group of world leaders.
Put People First is a major new coalition of British agencies uniting to promote the interest of ordinary people, and particularly the poor, throughout the world. Its members include Cafod, Christian Aid, Jubilee Debt Campaign, Micah Challenge, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund, Traidcraft, and scores of others. Website, www.putpeoplefirst.org.uk
