Mobilising for the G8

Public Meeting

“The fight to
Make Poverty History”

Speakers
Angela McCormick – Anti-poverty activist, G8 Alternatives Committee, Scotland
Goretti Horgan – Chairperson of the Northern Ireland Anti Poverty Network

7.30pm Wednesday April 6th
Room 302 Peter Froggatt Centre
Queens University

Poverty is one of the central issues of the age with nearly half the world’s population surviving on less than $2 per day and over one third living on less than a dollar per day.

In Northern Ireland, one of the poorest areas in Europe, 170,000 (25% of the population) exist solely on benefits. Wages here are at least 25% less than they are in Britain and over 30% lower than in the US. Homelessness is increasing and the availability of public housing is shrinking. The introduction of Water Charges will impoverish many more people in Northern Ireland when they are introduced. On that basis the Make Poverty History mobilisation is of crucial importance.

The Public Meeting is intended to raise awareness of the central issues, how various groups are fighting to alleviate poverty and most importantly to raise awareness of the mobilisation in Scotland on July 2nd.

For more information please feel free to call Gordon Hewitt, Campaigns and Information Officer at the Northern Ireland Anti-Poverty MTG on 07742 531 617 or 0845 120 3771.
