Dear friends, The Panama papers
is the biggest leak in history -- 11
million confidential documents of deceit, fraud, and
theft implicating 12 heads of
state!
But this
damning litany of high level corruption could pass as just a
massive scandal, unless we seize this chance to get
tax havens shut down for
good.
In
weeks Britain is convening an international anti-
corruption summit. How the public
reacts now will determine if it ends in
toothless reforms, or it stops the rich secretly stashing
their cash, and forces them to pay their taxes like the rest
of us.
Our global
community has a unique ability to ensure every leader at the
summit hears our call. Click to create a campaign that
matches the enormity of this leak and end this rotten
system of elite looting: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/panama_papers_g/?bUdKddb&v=74957&cl=9794479896The
Panama documents prove lax tax haven rules help the rich to
get richer by dodging taxes, while anonymity allows dictators
and organised crime hide their transactions from governments
and the public eye. One of the companies in this leak supplied
Assad with fuel to bomb and kill civilians!
But
the shock in this disclosure isn’t that. It’s that 140
politicians are involved! This plundering
could be by the same officials who have argued that public
funds are running out and only if we all tighten our belts can
we sustain our schools, hospitals, and basic services.
AGGHHH!!!!!
This amazing leak could finally
provide momentum for real change -- yesterday Iceland’s Prime
Minister was forced to step aside after massive
protests, and Prime Minister Cameron and other leaders have
condemned the theft and impunity. But seven years ago the G20
committed to end tax haven abuse, and yet here we are
again.
We have an opportunity
with the upcoming UK summit. This is the moment to get
prosecutions for those guilty of tax evasion, and bold action
to stop it. Journalists across 80 countries unpacked this
information for the public -- let’s meet their work with
massive public action before this crucial conference. Join
