Dear Avaaz members across London,

We only have one shot at this. Join Avaaz this Tuesday morning at BSkyB’s Annual Shareholders Meeting to demand that James Murdoch resign as Chairman. Click below for details and to RSVP!

Join us this Tuesday, as Avaaz members in London greet BSkyB shareholders at their annual general meeting with a giant Murdoch-head puppet, banners and t-shirts, voicing our objection to the reckless way the company has been run.

James Murdoch is coming to London this Tuesday for what may be his last annual meeting as head of BSkyB. Murdoch is up to his neck in scandal and he has become an embarrassment for his company — we can help convince shareholders to do the right thing and fire James from BSkyB!

When: Tuesday, November 29;
Time: 9AM-11AM;
Where: The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre at Broad Sanctuary, London SW1P3EE, United Kingdom.

Big BSkyB investors have finally had enough — they are accusing Murdoch of running the company as his own personal fiefdom, using his unchecked power to break laws and risking the future of his wide network of media outlets. UK leaders say the empire headed up by Rupert Murdoch and his sons has “entered the criminal underworld” — including hacking murdered children’s phones, paying off police, destroying evidence of crimes, and threatening politicians. These actions have cast suspicion over the entire organization.

Shareholders will vote Tuesday on whether to remove James from BSkyB’s leadership on the board. Let’s help shareholders challenge the family’s iron-clad grip on the company:

As Avaaz members, we take action online when we join campaigns, but the Avaaz movement doesn’t stop there. We achieve victory after victory by bringing massive popular support of online petitions directly to decision makers with deliveries, ads, press stunts and banners. This week, Avaaz members around the world are counting on us to be bold and show Murdoch that we won’t stand for his behavior.

Emma, Brant, Antonia, Daniel and the whole Avaaz team
