Make Poverty History Halifax is Hosting an Information Session on Make Poverty History and the October 16-18 Stand Up Take Action to Make Poverty History global action.

Members of Parliament who are on the Parliamentary Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities will be meeting here in Halifax on May 11th to discuss poverty issues with local groups.

But there is interest in a more public, less formal town-hall on the topic of poverty in advance of the meeting. Appreciating it is Mothers Day, Sunday evening is the only time in the travel schedule allowing for such a meeting to take place.

The event will take place between 7-9pm downtown Halifax. We hope to network with some groups and get some mothers out to drive home the importance of this issue and how gender inequality continues to be a major factor in the poverty landscape.

Want to learn more about Make Poverty History?  How to become more involved?  Meet and socialize with organizations in the area doing global or local poverty advocacy and action?

The “agrofuels” gold-rush has ignited a major global conflict.

2099 Gottingen St.

There will be an orientation session presented by Oxfam on their various working groups at 6:30pm.
