ERADICATE POVERTY

ASK YOUR REP TO SIGN ON TO THE OBAMA LETTER ASKING FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR THE WORLD'S POOR

There are only 20 Representatives signed on to the letter to President Obama from Congresswoman Waters and her colleagues regarding economic justice for the world's poorest people. With the House of Representatives' recess starting August 9, time is running out to get more signers. Please send a message to your Representative today! Demand that they support achieving the Millennium Development Goals through debt relief by signing on to Congresswoman Waters' letter to President Obama.

This letter urges President Obama to incorporate expanded debt cancellation and responsible finance for poor countries into his plan to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which he has promised to present to the United Nations in September. Time for Congress to speak up about global poverty is running out with the August recess fast approaching.

Ask your Representative today to sign on to this important letter. President Obama must include responsible finance and debt cancellation without harmful economic conditions as a part of his strategy to fight poverty and underdevelopment.

With only five years to achieve the Millennium Development Goals demand an end to poverty and social justice for all.

ASK THE SENATE TO COMPLETE ENERGY & CLIMATE LEGISLATION

The U. S. Senate seems to be completing a clean energy and climate change bill, but there is pressure to leave out primary provisions such as help for the world's poorest people to prepare for the effects of climate change. Please act now so that the world's poorest people are not forgotten!

Send a message to your Senators today and make sure they include support for international communities fighting for survival against climate change. To do so, visit the following site:
