We still need to Make Poverty History So the G8 summit made some progress on increasing aid to poorer countries. It also had something good to say about cancelling debts of developing nations. But there is still so much more that needs to be done - and so much more for the Make Poverty History campaign to achieve. For a start, we need to put pressure on world leaders to Make Trade Fair, which is why we were telling the good people at NASS about that last weekend. And that's why for the rest of 2005 we should keep the pressure on - we're making a special white band for this year's Rakhi Day (a Hindu festival that celebrates the special bond between sister and brother). These will be on sale really soon - make sure you get yours, and in the mean time keep wearing your other white band. And if you're at Glade Festival this weekend, keep an eye out for our stewards and campaigners.
