This Week's Good Idea - Book a day trip to Edinburgh !
On 2 July, MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY is having a major gathering at Edinburgh to coincide with the meeting of the G8 leaders at Gleneagles.
As the leaders of the richest nations get together, we will be calling on them to use their power to act justly in favour of the poor. Specifically, we will be calling for trade justice, debt cancellation, and more and better aid for the world's poorest countries.
"The day's events will start from 11am, and will include: rallies with international speakers, celebrity supporters and music, and the creation of a giant human white band around Edinburgh city centre..."
"The event will be a family friendly, safe and fun day," with lots of activities..."
Ideas for travel and accommodation can be found here. See you there...
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy.
(Proverbs 31: 8)
