Hi John

Almost 5,000 people have already signed our petition urging UN
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to recognise the value of ending and
reversing population growth and call for smaller families. WE WANT TO GET
AT LEAST 10,000 SIGNATURES IN TIME FOR WORLD POPULATION DAY ON 11 JULY
2020. WILL YOU ADD YOUR VOICE?

The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to
achieve decent lives for all on a healthy planet by 2030. Despite the
pledges, fine words and some successes, the reality is that unless things
change, many of those goals won't be achieved - meaning continued lives of
desperation and deprivation for hundreds of millions of people, and no end
to the devastation of our planet. That can be no surprise while global
population growth continues to fuel overexploitation of nature,
environmental destruction and unsustainable demand for land, food, water
and energy, while large families still trap the poorest in poverty.

TO MEET THE SDGS, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST TACKLE POPULATION,
ETHICALLY AND EFFECTIVELY. We have the solutions [4] - what's missing is
the political will to implement them. A UN call for smaller families would
get global attention and help put population action onto the international
policy agenda. With your support, we can create the momentum needed to give
everyone the security and dignity we all deserve, and to protect our
beautiful planet.

WILL YOU SUPPORT OUR CALL?
