MARCH TO SAVE THE JAN LOKPAL!

MARCH TO SAVE THE JAN LOKPAL!
Betraying the overwhelming public mandate for a strong anti-corruption law, the Cabinet has approved a weak and ineffective “Joke-Pal” draft for Parliament. But public outrage is rapidly turning to bold, nationwide action -- we can join in and supercharge this historical moment.

The future of the fight against corruption is now in the hands of the standing committee, and they have the power to strengthen the Cabinet's weak Lokpal. But they will only act to regulate themselves and their friends if public pressure gives them no other option. Anti-corruption protests planned across India in the next weeks powerfully send the message: we won't stop until we win!

Already, the government has moved to quash Anna Hazare's upcoming protest in Jantar Mantar -- showing their fear of public outcry. Let’s double the energy we brought to support Anna last April -- by standing together in our own towns, parks and communities, we will show our leaders the power of India's anti-corruption movement. Click on the right to find an action near you, then join in with your friends and family.
