The BETTER Part

There can be a lot of cynicism when you talk about a campaign like Make Poverty History...

"It's all hype" someone will say.
"A white band isn't going to save the world".

Well, we now have something to point to...
A step in a hopeful direction.

The Canadian government has just passed into law the BETTER AID bill that the Make Poverty History campaign has been pushing for.

This is a time to CELEBRATE; and with that, a time to THANK those in government who responded to the public pressure.

While it is crucial that we tell our leaders when things need to change, it is also very important to tell our leaders when they've done something right.

Please follow this link if you would like to thank Canada's leaders for listening to us on this key issue:
