The road awaits

Only three more nights spent at home in my bed before I will be venturing into communities across Australia with 1000 other young Australians with one message on our lips...will you join the movement to end poverty?

How are we planning on doing this? Well, young people have an amazing power to be heard, to make change in this world. So, imagine the energy of a thousand young people travelling and campaigning all across the nation with the same message: We can end extreme poverty in our life time, will you join the movement?

A week long of travelling, campaigning, petition signing and conversations about extreme poverty await us. We are ready. We are pumped. We can do this!

By Thursday, we will be on the lawns of our parliament. With the support of our communities behind us, we aim to get the government to commit to 0.7% GNI to foreign aid by 2020. If our country can commit to just 70 cents in every $100, we will have the potential to be a part of the end to extreme poverty.

Together we can end extreme poverty!


To join the movement head to endpoverty.com.au or text your name, post code and email address to 0467 777 333.
