On Tuesday we launched our new “Just ONE Question” campaign to get a question about global poverty included in next Friday’s presidential debate. In just 48 hours, over 45,000 of you signed the petition, putting us on the verge of surpassing our ambitious goal of 50,000!

Remember—since 1960, only 2 questions about global poverty have been asked in a presidential debate. We have it within our power to change that this year.

Please add your voice by signing the petition and be sure to share this campaign with your friends!

Petition text:

Mr. Lehrer:

At the presidential debate, please ask John McCain and Barack Obama just ONE question about their plans to fight global poverty.

Thanks for all you do,

Chris Scott

P.S. Check out this video we made for the campaign, and share it with your friends!
