Deutsche Bank is gambling on the food stock market -- using wild bets to earn millions and balloon food prices for the world's poor. But insiders say that the Bank is considering ending their destructive food speculation for good, and a public outcry could force their hand.

Just like the real estate bubble that crashed the US economy, Deutsche Bank's food investments are irresponsible and bear no relationship to actual food supplies. The result: skyrocketing costs for consumers and wild changes in food prices that make simple family budgeting impossible for many people across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. But there is hope -- after receiving thousands of messages from concerned citizens, Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackermann is under tremendous pressure to walk away from this morally bankrupt business.

Ackermann promised to decide by January but now wants to delay indefinitely in hopes that all the fuss will go away -- if we add our voices now, we can corner him into pulling Deutsche Bank out of the food gamble, and use his role as chair of the world bankers’ federation to get others to follow. Sign the urgent petition now, and we'll deliver it spectacularly to DB’s Frankfurt headquarters! After signing you can send a message to Ackermann's personal email account to further increase our impact.
