Live 8

the long walk to justice
Every so often a movement starts which tries to set right the wrongs of the past. Sometimes you get a chance to be part of that movement.
Live 8 is one such movement. What is it about?
Its an attempt to bring together in one voice an appeal (or maybe demand is a better word) not from politicians or celebrities but from ordinary citizens across the globe. An appeal to improve the lives of the world's poorest people by bringing about a change in the way we think and deal with our fellow earthlings.

LIVE 8 is part of a day of action across the world which kick-starts The Long Walk to Justice that calls on the leaders of the world’s richest countries to act when they meet in Gleneagles on 6th-9th July. On July 2nd in London, Edinburgh, Washington, Berlin, Paris and Rome millions will be coming together to call for complete debt cancellation, more and better aid and trade justice for the world’s poorest people.

I wish I could have been a part of it in a more real sense but I am glad that millions others will be part of it!!
