What is the White Band?
The White Band is the international symbol to show your support for an end to global poverty. By wearing a White Band, you become part of a worldwide campaign that is rallying millions of people around the world to demand that the world leaders live up to their promises to end poverty.
Why wear a White Band?
Over the next 12 months there will be a series of landmark meetings taking place where world leaders can truly make a difference for the lives of the 1.4 billion people living on less than $1 a day. By wearing a white band, you're making a statement that you want to make poverty history!
We need everybody to take action against poverty in 2005 by wearing a white band on the global White Band Action Days.
The first Global White Band Day is on July 1st - a few days ahead of the G8 meeting in Scotland. On this key mobilization day we will be demanding that world leaders make decisions that will benefit the world's poorest people.
The other 2 Global White Band Days are Sept. 10 and Dec. 10 (you can wear the band at all times, but on these days you know there are millions that are connected to you through this effort)
The band doesn't have to be one of those that you can through a website (although they're really nice) YOU can make your own band... the point is get together and DO something.
Have you signed the ONE declaration?!
With all my love, hope and sassyness (according to some of my closest friends),
