Where next after ‘Make Poverty History?’

Oxford WDM Group | 09.02.2006 22:58 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Oxford

Anti-poverty campaigners ask “Where next after Make Poverty History?”

Oxford World Development Movement, members of the Make Poverty History coalition, are organising a public conference looking back on what was achieved in the fight against world poverty in 2005; what was the true meaning of the G8 debt deal? What really happened at the World Trade Organisation talks in Hong Kong? Above all, what are our future challenges in the fight for justice for the world’s poor?

Speakers include:

- Kofi Mawuli-Klu, Chair of the Pan-Afrikan Taskforce for Internationalist Dialogue
- Paul Kingsnorth, Writer and Environmental Campaigner
- Marlene Barrett, WDM Network Manager


When: Wednesday 8th March at 7:30pm

Where: Council Chamber, Oxford Town Hall, St Aldates, OX1 1BX

MAKE POVERTY HISTORY WANTS TO KEEP PEOPLE POOR!!

Fuck those reactionary cunts with their cosy relationship to New Labour. Bunch of liberal reformist wank.

No only joking, just had to get in before all the nutters ;-)

Sounds good. Um, yeah MPH did have dodgy elements stifling the more radical voices inside the coalition, and preventing anti-war groups from joining. And the whole thing was totally overshadowed by Geldof and his pop concert. So constructive criticism of this stuff is important. But it's fair to say that there were a lot of good groups inside MPH. They just need to learn the lessons of what went wrong, and perhaps form a coalition seperate from the more new-labour friendly ngo's and steer clear of all the celebrity bollox. Which is what they probably wanted to do anyway.

this meeting will challenge....

the so-called gains from 2005 and intends to be a discussion about where to go next with campaigning, avoiding bloody New Labour, Mr Cameron and his new mate Geldof, and celebrities. New coalition sounds good!

16.02.2006 13:08

Well obvoiusly we make church history next.

As there is no god and all the poeple that belive there is are delusional we better get rid of churches for thier own good.

We need to save them and ourselves from thier addiction (The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something).
