The world can't wait for an end to poverty

Next month, leaders from eight of the richest and most powerful countries in the world will be meeting at the G8 Summit in Germany. At the 2005 Summit in Scotland a series of historic promises were made that, if fulfilled, would help many millions of people escape extreme poverty.

The promises that have been kept have changed millions of lives. But most are at serious risk of being broken. And that's a disgrace
You could go to the London Rally on Saturday 2nd June. Nothing organised in Wales as far as I know.
Go to London on 2nd June to send Tony Blair off to Germany with our voices ringing in his ears. Join thousands of other campaigners and their families on the banks of the Thames and make your voice heard. This will be a fun day out with events organised in many of the parks and green spaces around Westminster, culminating in everyone making a massive noise and "ringing the alarm" against poverty at 2.30pm.

The CND banner will be opposite the Houses of Parliament from 2pm on the south bank of the Thames between Westminster and Lambeth Bridges as a meeting point for our supporters.
Register to attend the rally:

Send a message to the G8

Please send an email message to Tony Blair and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to tell them that the world can't wait for an end to poverty. We really need to let them know that the world is watching and will hold them accountable for their promises and actions.
Email Merkel now:
