make poverty history?

Yes, poverty made a big splash this past summer. Now we need to do something about it.

The Millenium Development Goals bring attention to the way individual and a country's poverty needs to be approached from many angles and there is good info up at the UN MDG site - http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/

The Make Poverty History March in Scotland was truly inspiring with 250,000 people marching through the streets of Edinburgh. You can go here http://www.pcusa.org/trade/g81.htm to view some photos I took. A quarter million people, mostly in white, voting with their feet for justice. It was powerful.
