The financial system is broken, at great cost to the world’s poorest communities. We can do better. As global leaders gather in London to fix the mess, make sure they don’t leave out the most important part – people. Our future depends on creating an economy based on a fair distribution of wealth, decent jobs for all and a low-carbon world.

Bring yourself, your family, friends and church to pray and march through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20 leaders to Put People First.

Worship and pray with us

Meet at 10.30 am for worship with the joint church action service beginning at 11am in Central Hall, opposite Westminster Abbey (tube: Westminster or St James’s Park).

Music with Andy Flanaghan and Peruvian band Kausary.

Speakers include Joel Edwards, International Director of Micah Challenge, Father Joe Komakoma, Secretary General of Episcopal Conference Zambia, and Christine Allen, Executive Director of Progressio.

Then march with us to Hyde Park for a carnival with entertainment and speakers including Susan George and Tony Robinson.

Please pray with Christians across the globe in the run-up to the G20. Pray that out of crisis there might emerge a better world. Join the global wave of prayer: www.micahchallenge.org.uk/g20
