Puget Sound Millennium Development Goals Project

in early 2007, a group of like-minded active members of various global poverty relief agencies working on the satisfaction of the MDG's came together to provide opportunties to showcase and educate the public and encourage them to promote their attainment. we hold public forums with congressional leaders and heads of groups making progress in this massive undertaking. Letters to the editors are submitted on specific current topics. we work closely with the United Nations Association here in Seattle.

We are a group of organizations committed to achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Project is mounting a high-profile, region-wide, long term collaborative effort in support of the MDGs by involving a wide range of partners: non-governmental organizations, corporate entities, education institutions, churches, and individuals.

"creating the public and political will to end hunger and the worst aspects of poverty."

This organization works with our congress and senate on specific issues of global health and poverty, and writes editors and publications to inform them and the public on the issues. 2007 issues are XRD-TB (extremely drug resistant tuberculosis), microcredit (Nobel Prize winner Mohammed Yunus is on our board of directors), and education for all.

RESULTS Canada

This is the Canadian RESULTS link for my friends to the north . . . . a wonderful work they are doing in this country, i've met many of these amazing people.

30,000 children die from the effects of extreme poverty everyday, know the facts, and take action. RESULTS Canada is busy continually reminding leaders that they are one of the 181 countries that have signed on to meeting the Millenium Development Goals by 2015.

Jubilee 2000 - Drop the Debt Campaign

in 1997 this group approached Bono to help them lobby on behalf of the highly indebted poor countries, who pay back many times over their annual budgets on interest to the west alone. over 38 countries have received this forgiveness based on DATA's conditions of accountability, women's and children's rights, education and food and medicine for their citizens. this year we are lobbying for Liberia, who is africa's first republic and under President Ellen Johnson-Sirleif is a potential light in the region, and Haiti. both are HIPC (highly indebted poor countries) who qualify for debt relief, but our lobbying can bring this to pass sooner, saving them hundreds of millions of dollars in interest on the loans to the west. loans incurred generations ago by warlords and dictators who kept the money for themselves who are no longer in power.

Bread for the World

this awesome faith-based organization works with the ONE campaign as well as with Farm Bill issues including both domestic and non-domestic funding.

(red)

can a t-shirt save a life? oh yes! entire product lines by partners such as GAP, Converse, Apple (ipod), Motorola, Armani, a Dell computer and HP printer, are committing to a five year agreement of giving, not charity, but giving a generous portion of each product's suggested retail price straight to The Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. this is not a charity, it's commerce for the extreme poor.

DATA

this is an amazing information resource for the work we are doing in ONE. The granddaddy, the keeper of the serious matters, the DATA report is one of the best evenings a person could spend, imho.
