Obama Against Poverty
Target: President Obama
Sponsored by: CARE
Sponsored by: CARE
Now that we have a new president, it's time to tell him: Stick to your promises to help the world's poor. In these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever for our new president to hear from us that fighting global poverty is still a priority.
Tell President Obama that you're counting on him to keep his campaign promises:
*To double annual foreign assistance.
*To make the U.N. Millennium Development Goals a part of American policy.
Also, tell him that one of the keys to helping the world's poor is prioritizing maternal and child health because, when equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help their families and entire communities escape poverty. In the developing world, one woman every minute dies needlessly in childbirth. These women aren't dying because the health community doesn't know how to prevent their deaths; they are dying because the world is failing to help.
Tell President Obama to stand with you in solidarity with the 1.4 billion people who live on a little more then a dollar a day ... the 72 million children who are not in school today ... the one woman who dies every minute from pregnancy-related causes.
