Dear friends,
Sorry for the last minute nature of this. Hoping you may be interested in joining us in endorsing a public statement about the 2020 G20 year (being hosted in Saudi Arabia). Below you will find a public statement from Transparency International, Civicus and Amnesty International explaining why we are not engaging with the G20’s Civil Society Process this year. I am sending this to you to see if your organizations would like to sign up to the Statement, if you have not already done so. The Statement is available in English, Arabic French and Spanish:
Joint statement (English) https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/IOR3016492020ENGLISH.pdf<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amnes…>

We would need to know by next Tuesday, 3 March at the latest your interest in joining us in this action.
Should you be interested in signing please reply to this email, copying my colleague Ann Harrison, aharrison(a)amnesty.org<mailto:aharrison@amnesty.org>, at our International Secretariat, who is also copied in this email and who is leading in this.
Once we have a final list of organizations interested in joining, we will update the statements online with all names, and inform you of our media plans around this.
