October 17 is the day against poverty, the time of year that social movements and organizations want to be heard loud and clear that it is possible to eradicate poverty. This year there are more reasons than ever to move ...
A crisis that some are determined to paralyze us
Millennium goals that some are determined to not meet
a poverty that some are determined to show it as inevitable
xenophobic speeches and actions that seek to blame in some ethnic groups, including Gypsies (soon to be immigration)
cuts in development aid accompanied by demagogic speeches like "the locals first"
Meanwhile, cold data as follows:
- We have overcome the shameful figure of 1,020 million hungry.
- This means about 24,000 deaths a day from hunger-related causes
- 75% of which are children under five years.
Madrid: Sunday 17 October, with the usual route de Cibeles to Sun, at 12 am.
In the rest of Spain will surely announce mobilizations on the web: http://www.rebelatecontralapobreza.org/
