Urgent message to supporters from Stamp Out Poverty

Following significant progress with our campaign in recent months, a MakePovertyHistory-like movement amongst our core members has been ignited. The likes of Oxfam, Actionaid and Save the Children are now throwing their weight behind a mass popular push for a 'Tax on Banks' in the run up to the forthcoming general election. This will result in unprecedented visibility of our cause and greatly magnify the chances that the financial sector will at last pay a greater contribution towards the costs of development and climate change.

It is your actions that have helped build pressure to make this breakthrough possible. And we thank you for playing your part in the campaign.

Words of intention by politicians now have to translate into action, especially as the election looms. To rise to this challenge we are for the first time asking you for a financial contribution to our work. More than ever Stamp Out Poverty needs to expand its capacity in these coming months to ensure our voice is heard loud and clear. Please make whatever contribution you feel you can to support our efforts at this unique time for the campaign.
