Action Now: End Poverty and Inequality
This action is now closed, thanks for taking part. See below for other ways to get involved.
In July, leaders of eight of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful nations – the G8 – will meet in Hokkaido, Japan for their annual meeting.
Civil society around the world is calling on these leaders to take urgent action to meet their promises, and do far more, to fight poverty and inequality.
Every year on July 7, the people of Japan celebrate Tanabata by making their wishes for the coming year, and tying them to a bamboo tree. This year, people across the globe are invited to make their wish for immediate action from the G8 on education, health and HIV/AIDS, climate change and international aid.
Your wish, along with millions of others will be handed to the Japanese Prime Minister. Join the growing Global Call to Action Against Poverty, as civil society everywhere calls for change, and an end to the injustices of poverty and inequality.
