Campaign Aims
1.Support and put into contact those who are taking action and those who wish to take action with people in extreme poverty across the world, to build a different way of fighting against poverty. That is to say, a way which respects everyone’s dignity, which is firmly based on the thinking and suggestions of people in poverty, with the goal of ending poverty.
2.Show that people taking action in this way are not isolated cases but already make up a social movement across the world. Certainly they are a minority, but a very dynamic one, creating real changes in all fields: access to housing, health care, education, work, training, new technologies, citizenship, culture, family life etc. Encourage new individuals to get involved to better understand the reality of extreme poverty and the ways of taking action, so that this social movement will develop. It is a matter of reaching all social circles and all age groups in as many countries as possible.
3.Question common philosophical, cultural and religious thinking, and the academic and artistic worlds, so that they take into account this collective effort to struggle against poverty.
4.Question public authorities at all levels - local, national and international - to ask them to recognise the energy of this social movement and to contribute to it.
Please pay attention to the link extreme poverty. It is not pretty to watch, but sadly it is the cruel reality that you also live in.
