We
believe it is time to stand up and let our
voices be heard
about poverty in the world.
A
child dies every three seconds as a
result of extreme
poverty.
In
this world, in the countries that we live in,
there is NO
REASON for anyone to die from poverty.
Poverty
is not inevitable. If we have the will to act,
WE CAN MAKE
POVERTY HISTORY.

Poverty History Canada is part of an international campaign
active in over 70 countries.
Supporters
worldwide have been wearing a white band, speaking with their
political representatives,
and organizing community
events.
Wearing
a simple white band of any kind,
shows that you want
action to end poverty!
Three global White Band Days
were chosen for concerted action. On these days people wore
the white band to demonstrate that they believe
that
now is the time to eradicate
poverty!

World
Day to Overcome Extreme Poverty
“Together, we go
further”
The
first people to struggle against poverty,
for
themselves and for those close the them,
are
those who live in it.
However,
struggling alone or isolated,
people living in
poverty become exhausted.
This is why we are
convinced that by coming together
we will be able to
eradicate poverty and misery.
This
is the deep significance of this day:
whoever
we are,we commit and act against
poverty
with the persons who live it,
thereby
uniting to make human rights respected.
Let
as many people as possible meet and let those
who
fight daily against poverty speak out so that
we
better understand their lives and become stronger
in our
commitment to eradicate poverty.
Let
us invite our fellow citizens and our elected officials
to
come and listen, to take note of what people do to
combat this unacceptable poverty that destroys many
adults,
young people and infants, day after
day.
