Election 2010 World Poverty Day confirmed
World Poverty Day
The election 2010 ‘World Poverty Day’ has been confirmed as 18 April 2010 – the third Sunday before Election Day.
World Poverty Day was initiated in the last General Election in 2005, when each political party leader profiled international development policies.
The agreement for a similar day in 2010 was first announced at the Annual Conference of Bond – the membership organisation for UK international development NGOs.
On the day itself, please:
- Tweet with the #Voteglobal hashtag
- Write letters to local newspapers (including in response to the day)
- Take part in actions and events which will be found on the Vote Global map
