Tell George Osborne to stop bankers betting on hunger

Global food prices are soaring again. Maize prices rose by 25% in July, pushing more and more of the world's poorest people into hunger.

Right now there is now a real opportunity to stop speculation contributing to future food crises. On 9 October, Europe’s finance ministers will vote on new rules to prevent speculators pushing up prices. But the UK government is firmly opposed to regulation and could scupper the vote.

The only thing that could change Chancellor George Osborne’s mind is mass public pressure. We need your help to let George Osborne know that the UK public wants him to vote for strong limits to tackle food speculation.

Please take this action and help prevent speculators from betting on hunger.
