Our Money, Our Future:
Have your say!
There are trillions of dollars of our money on the table at the European Recovery Summit and G20 meetings this week, and we want a say in where it goes.
This is a time to be decisive in saving lives and bold in charting a path to a genuinely healthier and more equitable future through a just recovery. Learn more about the [Just Recovery principles](https://350.org/just-recovery/) and our demands to [G20 Finance Ministers](https://350.org/g20/).
##### **Use the options below to tweet at your ministers from July 16-18, and share what a truly #JustRecovery looks like and why we need it. 👇**
## Tweet to your finance minister
Click on your flag below to tweet at our finance minister. Make sure that they hear from you.- If you have time, please take the time to also craft an original tweet.
- If your country isn’t represented here, you can also find sample tweets below.
## Why is this important?
Decisions made by rich economies will have a huge effect on the health and well-being of people around the world, particularly on those already on the frontlines of the climate crisis. We must challenge these countries when the global spotlight is collectively on them. [G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors](https://350.org/what-is-g20-and-why-are-we-targeting-it/) will meet on 18 July to “discuss and take urgent actions needed to address the global challenge presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.” The G20 are claiming to show leadership in responding to the pandemic.
This gives us the opportunity to voice our demands on what a Just Recovery should look like.

This is our money – and we should not leave it to a small group of ministers to gamble with – we should get people’s voices heard and start influencing these conversations as soon as possible.
