We won’t end extreme poverty without combating corruption. A favorite tool of corrupt leaders is anonymous shell companies that cast a veil of secrecy over criminal activity.
John, help us fight corruption by demanding transparency in this industry.

We know that corruption kills by keeping people in the world’s poorest countries trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. Corruption and the secret companies used to hide it are robbing African countries of billions of dollars they need for healthcare, education, and food.
Thankfully, there’s an easy and effective way to stop this: all governments must require that the true owners of such companies be disclosed.
Right now, there is legislation in the Senate, S. 2563 the ILLICIT CASH Act, that would give law enforcement and financial institutions the information needed to stop these criminals from siphoning resources away from poor countries and into personal bank accounts in the U.S..
This past October, a companion bill to this legislation passed in the House of Representatives. This means we only need to convince the Senate to take action.
Sign our petition urging your U.S. Senators to support this commonsense legislation and help fight corruption.
The petition reads:
Dear U.S. Senators,
Corruption kills. It enables bad actors to siphon away money from some of the world’s poorest countries that could otherwise be used to improve and even save people’s lives.
Please support S. 2563, the ILLICIT CASH Act, a commonsense bill that would put an end to company ownership secrecy, ensuring our financial system is not abused by criminals to launder money from those who need it most.

Thank you.
