For
the first time ever, the United Nations allowed an advocacy group to
project a message of hope and activism on the side of the UN General
Assembly Building. ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History, joining
with the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) and UN Millennium Campaign,
projected a giant white band, the international symbol of over 75
national campaigns against poverty worldwide, on the front of the UN
General Assembly Building.
Over 1.5 million Americans and 150
million people around the world are united by the symbol of the white
band, worn by teachers, parents, children, world leaders, students,
celebrities and everyday people worldwide. The projection of the white
band serves as powerful visual reminder that over 150 million anti-
poverty campaigners are watching the World Summit, calling for renewed
commitments and increased progress in the fight against extreme poverty.
