Food Crisis -- this just in from our friend Scott Nakagawa

I just signed a petition urging world leaders at an emergency summit this week to tackle the food crisis now gripping the world. This is urgent and important and I thought you might like to sign it too:

The United Nations is convening the emergency summit. There is a real danger that rich country leaders will push half measures and band-aid solutions – we need a huge global outcry to demand rapid, massive, coordinated action.

The head of the UN, Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, will receive our petition at the summit in the next day. This is a huge opportunity for our voice to reach our leaders directly, but we need half a million voices heard. Sign the petition below, and watch the video appeal from the foreign minister of Sierra Leone, one of the world's worst hit nations:
