Tell the EU to choose the right direction

Right now EU leaders are deciding how much money to spend eradicating poverty. They're at a crossroads, planning to cut back the amount to help the world's poorest people. Together we can help them choose the right direction.

Navigating the challenges we face together - famine, insecurity, pandemics and the people fleeing these tragedies - the 2018 budget is an important chance for the EU to deliver a strong, long-term vision for development that brings us closer to an equal and just future for all.

But the proposed EU aid budget for 2018 is 6% lower than last year's. Now is not the time to cut development spending. Now is the time to re-route & re-focus on eradicating extreme poverty. We need the EU to step up, not step back from its international responsibilities.

Sign the petition and tell EU leaders that they shouldn't take a backseat in shaping our future.
