fight poverty

As many of you are already aware, the ONE Campaign is a global coalition--people, non-profits, relief organizations--who create a big political voice to work at issues of global poverty.

I just signed a petition asking the G8 to take urgent action against extreme poverty, and I'm hoping that you'll join me.Sign the petition now at: http://www.one.org/2008g8

There has been a lot of progress against extreme poverty in recent years, but, as recent headlines about the global food crisis 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.

I love ONE...signing a petition there is so easy, and much legislation and initiative has come about as a direct result of the political action of those involved with ONE. When they need your voice, they send you a quick email, you press a button...and you've signed. They also let you know when and how to contact local, state, or national legislators about particular issues. It's that easy, and it's effective. I hope you'll join.
