Blog Action Day 2k8: Against poverty
Blog action day 2008 is fighting global poverty by raising collective awareness in the blogosphere: . This year, the international grass-roots fight against inhumane living conditions aka poverty form the topic of one of the largest blogosphere campaigns ever.
More than 10.000 blogs have registered their postings so far — that’s hell of a press coverage for a movement that’s strictly driven by a few brave individuals who believe that pointing enough people to the root of a problem will eventually help to solve it.
Let’s not forget even in these times of worldwide financial crisis that our global problems can and must be solved on a global level. Large parts of all billions of people inhabiting this planet neither have neither clean water nor enough food. We, the people of industrialized and in comparison absurdly rich 1st-world-countries don’t just have the moral obligation to help these people. We also have to help them because large parts of today’s poverty were caused by incredibly greedy politics of economics in the last few decades.
Therefore, my personal wish — despite all panicking because of the stock-market crisis — is that help for the poor will remain on top of our political agenda.
