This poster comes as an insert in the InTouch INTO Teachers Magazine Nov-Dec Issue Here. On pages 10 and 11 of this issue we have published an article “Climate Justice and the young Activist – an intergenerational approach.”
Autumn 2020 Action
LEAVE NO-ONE BEHIND is our annual 17th October action based on the United Nations END POVERTY DAY.
The aim is to ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY.
Poverty is not natural — it is a man-made infliction on millions of people worldwide, including those living in the wealthiest nations such as Ireland and the U.S.A.
Currently, there is enough food to feed our planet’s 8 billion people, yet almost one billion people are living in extreme poverty or dying from a lack of one basic meal per day.
Our END POVERTY DAY 2020 message is:
“#LeaveNoOneBehind”
