The Make Poverty History campaign is supported by a wide cross-section of charities, trade unions, faith groups, students, academics, literary, artistic and sports leaders. It is part of an 80 country international campaign called the Global Call to Action Against Poverty.

Internationally it is supported by hundreds of organizations and by well known individuals such as Desmond Tutu, Brad Pitt, Bono and Bob Geldof. In Canada, prominent Canadians including Stephen Lewis, Sarah McLachlan, Steve Nash, Mary Walsh and John Polanyi have all endorsed the campaign.

Here's what we want in 14 words:

• More and Better Aid
• Trade Justice
• Cancel the Debt
• End Child Poverty in Canada.

It's time for world leaders, including our Prime Minister, to live up to their commitments to end poverty and hunger, enable every child to attend school, create decent jobs and reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS.

The symbol of the campaign is a simple White Band. By wearing it you'll be part of Make Poverty History, a unique worldwide effort to end extreme poverty - for good.
