C7 (international civil society) urges G7 to do more to protect civic space and enable anti-corruption efforts. "The G7 must support civil society so they can deliver on their promise of a more just and equitable world. When authoritarianism takes control into the hands of a few, social movements are the last remaining check on power – but they are struggling."
