Target: U.S. Congress, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), major financial media outlets
Goal: Shift the focus from market speculation to responsible, transparent diplomacy and reporting on international conflicts, ensuring that humanitarian impacts and peace efforts are prioritized over investor profits.
The media's coverage of high-stakes meetings between world leaders, such as the recent Trump-Putin summit, too often centers on how these events will affect investor sentiment and stock prices, rather than the real-world consequences for people impacted by war and sanctions. This approach reduces complex humanitarian crises to mere market variables, obscuring the urgent need for diplomatic solutions and accountability.
We urge policymakers and the financial industry to adopt transparent practices that prioritize peace, global stability, and the well-being of affected communities. Media outlets must commit to responsible reporting that does not fuel speculative trading or normalize war as a market event. The lives and futures of millions should not be subject to the whims of short-term investor reactions.
