Your MP can help stop land grabs. Get them to act now.
Big land deals in poor countries are a huge problem. Too often, they lead to land grabs, forcing families from their land, unfairly evicting them from their homes and leaving them with no way to grow food or earn a living.
Land grabs must stop now - help us make it happen.
The World Bank funds many big land deals. It also influences how land is bought and sold. So this means it has the power to help stop land grabs. Thousands of you have already asked the World Bank to freeze its investments in land while it sets a fair standard for others to follow. You got its attention, but we're still waiting for the Bank to act. The time has come to crank up the pressure.
We need you and your MP to get the World Bank to listen.
Ask your MP to add their voice to our calls for justice - let's make a noise that the World Bank can't ignore.
How it works
Now
Email your MP, and join thousands of others who will all be urging the UK Government to help stop land grabs.

Justine Greening's role means she can influence the World Bank - convincing it to freeze its land investments and set a fair standard for others to follow.
