Help Make Poverty History: Petition for G8









Dear readers,

I am completely aware that signing a petition does not directly making poverty history. But, it is one way to spread out the words, make more people aware, and inspire some to take further actions.

I just signed a petition asking the G8 take urgent action against extreme poverty, and I'm hoping that you'll join me. Sign the petition now at: http://www.one.org/international/g8

There has been a lot of progress against extreme poverty in recent years, but, as recent headlines about the global food crisis and natural disasters like Cyclone Nargis in Burma will tell you, there is still much to be done. When we unite with one voice and call upon our leaders to take action, we can and will solve these problems.

Thanks
