NEW STUFF! NEW STUFF!
We've been going Make Poverty History CRAZY round these parts, so this is just a quick-ish blog to tell you about the stuff we've been putting on the site. First up, we've got June Sarpong's answers to the questions you asked all those moons ago - June's right behind the Make Poverty History campaign, so see what she has to say. Then there's a quick review of the Manchester White Band Weekend from a couple of weeks ago, complete with Big Brother's Nadia, and a review of the Bands Against Poverty gig in Chorlton, Manchester.
And then there's a whole host of new music events coming up too: there's the Oxford Bands Against Poverty night, this weekend; the 8 til L8 for the G8 gig in Birmingham; and the Club Hedonsitic Glastonbury warm up this Friday. As if that wasn't enough, we've also got details of how YOU can Make Poverty History in 7 steps - step 1 is buying the new Make Povetry History book.
Phew! Not bad, eh? Of course, all this Make Poverty History activity is gearing up to the rally on Saturday 2 July, to put pressure on the G8 leaders meeting in Gleneagles the week after. We want as many people as possible to make the trip up to Edinburgh, to get leaders to drop the debt, make trade fair and send more and better aid. There's loads more cool stuff about the G8 summit on the main Oxfam site.
Oh, and here's yet another gratuitous photo of an animal with a Make Poverty History whiteband around it. Honestly, the things people to do to their pets...

Ooooh, nearly forgot. There's the wonderful People & Planet Summer Festival too, five days of talks, workshops, comedy and the like, which coincides with the G8 summit in Edinburgh. Have a look on the What's On page for more info...
