#StandwithGreece

Austerity has taken its toll on Greek society, and Greece's new government is seeking a new economic deal to get Greece back on track. Eurozone leaders are reluctant to give Greece the relief it needs -- even though most of the bailout funds went to bail out big European banks. Now more than ever, we need people to speak up for Greece and its efforts to secure a fair deal. This week, President Barack Obama weighed in on behalf of Greece, pressing for a growth strategy to revive the Greek economy. His comments were a good first step. We need to hear more from him and other world leaders. Please, sign our petition asking the administration to continue to stand with Greece: President Obama said this week that "when you have an economy that is in a free-fall there has to be a growth strategy and not simply the effort to squeeze more and more from a population that is hurting worse and worse.” He's absolutely right, and his words hold weight with eurozone leaders. Ask President Obama to continue to stand with Greece and to speak out forcefully for a new growth plan: http://hellenicleaders.com/StandwithGreece Thank you, Endy Endy Zemenides Executive Director HALC P.S. It only takes one minute to sign our petition, and if you are on social media, help spread word of our #StandwithGreece campaign. With your help, we can show eurozone leaders that people all around the world support a new way forward for Greece.
