What
Can I Do? - Take action
The
sixth strategic action we can take is to "stand up and be
counted" through collective and direct action. The
book reminds us that "Global poverty would not be expensive to reduce.
Nor are the barriers to poverty reduction technical – we know what to
do. The reason for slow progress is a lack of political
will." 2005 offers an unprecedented opportunity for
Christians to join forces with other people of vision and goodwill to
make extreme poverty history. The book contains a range of ways in
which we can act together for change.
The
Global Call to Action Against Poverty (supported by Make Poverty
History and the One Campaign) is calling on people to wear a white
armband on key days of action. Click here
