People in some of the world's poorest countries are being deprived of one trillion dollars every year

People in some of the world's poorest countries are being deprived of one trillion dollars every year. 

Criminals are secretly siphoning off cash through money laundering, tax evasion and embezzlement. Not just a little cash. One trillion dollars. 

We're not talking about international aid, which is making a real and tangible difference, but money taken from developing countries’ own budgets and economies. 

Imagine what just a fraction of that money could do if it was invested in helping families lift themselves out of poverty for good. 

This is a Trillion Dollar Scandal and it’s up to us to tell world leaders to stop it. 

In just a few weeks, finance ministers from the world’s 20 most powerful countries are meeting in Australia. They've got the power to help put an end to these deals - but only if we make this scandal impossible to ignore. 

Tweet or send a message to Australia’s Finance Minister Joe Hockey right now and tell him it's time for the world’s poorest to get their $1,000,000,000,000 back.
