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 for further information.
