The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is working on a rule that will require oil, gas, and mining companies to publish what they pay to governments. This kind of transparency can provide citizens in the world's poorest countries with the information they need to ensure that government revenue ends up in hospitals and schools and not the pockets of the criminal and corrupt. But some companies want to stop this rule.

Time is running out. Please spread the word and ask your friends to sign the petition today!

Right now, some companies are trying to stop a rule that says if you're an oil and gas company and you make a deal, you have to publish what you pay. If they wins, that means billions of dollars could end up in the pockets of corrupt leaders, rather than life-saving programs to help pull the world's poorest people out of poverty.

Will you join me and tell the Securities and Exchange Commission #noSecretDeals? Tell them the time is NOW to issue a strong rule that requires oil, mining, and gas companies to be transparent, so money does not fall into the hands of corrupt government officials in Africa.
