International AIDS Candlelight Memorial

We are pleased to take this opportunity to announce this year's theme

for the 2010 Candlelight Memorial: "Many Lights for Human Rights", which

was voted on by our Board during our annual meeting in Accra. We feel

this theme captures the collective movement of the Candlelight to move

to action in the drive for access to treatment, care, and prevention, in

addition to the elimination of stigma and discrimination. It also aligns

with the UNAIDS 2009 World AIDS Day… Continue

Please click here to sign ONE’s petition to the Danish Prime Minister to take the lead in doing so:…

historic climate change meetings in Copenhagen, Dec. 7-18.

Dear Make Poverty History Supporter,

We are moments away from the historic climate change meetings in Copenhagen, Dec. 7-18. Our own future and the very lives of millions of people in the Southern Hemisphere are at stake.

Real progress is possible – just a few days ago, it was looking pretty hopeless, with world leaders saying they wouldn’t even turn up in Denmark. But thanks to our persistent chorus of global voices urging action, now they’ll all be there, including Prime… Continue

It's time to act on Child Poverty Act now to give all of Canada’s children the right to a decent life

We’d like to tell you that November 24 is a day to feel good about being a Canadian. But right now, we can’t.

Have you heard the good news?

Don't let Apple hog the green!

Have you heard the good news?

When you told Apple that you wished its products came in green - they listened. Your voice turned Apple into a green IT industry leader - and we wanted to say thank you! Because not only has Apple dropped the worst toxic chemicals from its products - but the company itself is making some bold green moves!

At the beginning of October Apple stormed out of the US Chamber of Commerce - a lobby group that… Continue

Canada will need to offer global leadership as host of G8 in 2010

We are hosting our Fix Our World Festival to coincide with the G8 to help Canadians step up as Leaders and show we want Change! We have to work as a TEAM! Help by linking with us and host an event in your area.

Canada will need to offer global leadership as host of G8 in 2010 to deliver results on unfinished business from this year's G8. This year’s G8, while there was some progress, didn’t fully deliver on promises to the world’s poorest, in part because of weak leadership by Italy,… Continue

Canada dragged its feet at the G8!

The G8 Summit is wrapping up in Japan, with little progress on poverty, climate change, or the food price crisis, and Canada is partly to blame.

The final commitments of the G8 leaders recycle old promises, and sadly Canada did its best to block bold action.

Are you as disappointed as I am? Take a moment to let the Canadian government know how you feel

While European Leaders pushed for substantive action on climate change, Canada dragged its feet. Our… Continue
