*[Enwl-eng] Recovery plans need to fix what’s broken and demand justice

[ENWL]

Hi,

In July, the people who control the budgets of the world’s 20 richest 
countries will meet to discuss how they spend trillions in public money on 
economic recovery and stimulus packages.

Their decisions can set the world on the path to a safe and just recovery 
from the interwoven crises of racial injustice, COVID, economic upheaval and 
climate breakdown hitting us all at once.

So act now:

      Call on G20 countries to spend public money on a safe and just 
recovery for everyone

There are trillions of dollars of our money on the table and we want a say 
in where it goes.

We demand better than ‘business as usual’. We need jobs and investment in 
our communities, we need healthcare, we need better housing, greener 
transport, social care and dignified livelihoods. We demand justice.

Plans for a just recovery need to be rooted in racial justice and address 
the multiple crises and inequities that an extractive economy has created. 
Communities of colour and those on the frontlines of the climate crisis are 
also the ones who have been bearing the brunt of the global pandemic.

The G20 finance ministers who will be meeting on 18 July hold the 
pursestrings for a just recovery that can tackle all these crises together.

This historic opportunity calls for an equally unprecedented response from 
them. Let them know.

This is a moment that will go down in history as either the point when 
national governments stepped up to the challenge or when they caved in once 
again to powerful elites and used our public resources to shore up special 
interests like fossil fuel bailouts and other polluting industries.

The benchmark for an acceptable response is whether recovery plans help us 
fix what’s broken and start us on a new path to a more just and sustainable 
future for all.

      Add your name to the petition now

Onwards,

Monica and the 350.org team
