historic climate change meetings in Copenhagen, Dec. 7-18.

Dear Make Poverty History Supporter, We are moments away from the historic climate change meetings in Copenhagen, Dec. 7-18. Our own future and the very lives of millions of people in the Southern Hemisphere are at stake. Real progress is possible – just a few days ago, it was looking pretty hopeless, with world leaders saying they wouldn’t even turn up in Denmark. But thanks to our persistent chorus of global voices urging action, now they’ll all be there, including Prime Minister Harper.… Continue

End Child Poverty in Canada!

Make Poverty History ...to finally end Child Poverty in Canada! We're already 9 years behind schedule. Why should 637,000 Canadian children have to wait a minute longer? It's time to act on Child Poverty On November 24, 1989 Canada's House of Commons passed a resolution to end child poverty in Canada by the year 2000. Yet almost 1 Canadian child out of every 10 still lives in poverty - in one of the richest countries in the world. Shockingly, these figures don't even include First Nations and… Continue

Prevent a culture of greed

But through collective action, we can demand a fair result for people feeling the worst effects of this recession – including those living in extreme poverty – and by doing so have a positive long-term impact on the global economy. With his unique position of global leadership, President Barack Obama has the ability to bring leaders together for a global solution. Can you add your name to our petition asking him to do so?

A Question To Stephen Harper

I just saw a commercial with Stephen Harper sitting by himself talking about his son and how much he loved being a father. My question to Stephen Harper. Why are children in Canada still living in poverty? There are millions of fathers and mothers just like you who love their children more than life itself. In their eyes all children are equal, being such a loving father how can you allow any child to go hungry. Why was Campaign 2000 put into place and not achieved? This House "seek(s) to achi… Continue

Canada dragged its feet at the G8!

The G8 Summit is wrapping up in Japan, with little progress on poverty, climate change, or the food price crisis, and Canada is partly to blame. The final commitments of the G8 leaders recycle old promises, and sadly Canada did its best to block bold action. Are you as disappointed as I am? Take a moment to let the Canadian government know how you feel While European Leaders pushed for substantive action on climate change, Canada dragged its feet. Our government, along with the US and Japan,… Continue
