We will be working together in 2005 to take action across the world to force world leaders to tackle the causes of poverty, and meet and exceed their own promises on the UN's MDGs.
We are working in solidarity with hundreds of organisations across the world to put the interests of the poorest people in the world at the top of the political agenda. This is our chance to ask politicians and leaders what they are going to do to eradicate poverty, and to demand that they do it now.
