How can I get involved?
Blow the Whistle will be launched in the UK on 15 March as just one of a series of campaigns that Micah Challenge UK will run right up to the rally in London on 2 June in advance of the G8 meeting (being held in Germany 6-8 June).
Here’s how you can participate in 'Blow the Whistle':
- Send a “Blow the Whistle” postcard for justice to the Prime Minister (available on our website or through your church).
- Write to your MP, Hilary Benn or Tony Blair about the injustice of global poverty (Blow the Whistle will have a particular focus on this in April)
- Sign the Micah Call – this is a declaration to join the global movement to halve absolute poverty and hunger.
- Put 20 May in your diary – this is the date when churches around the UK will be focussing in global poverty issues and praying for the forthcoming G8 meeting.
- Put 2 June in your diary – this is the date for the UK public mobilisation planned ahead of this year's G8 Summit (London)
- Keep informed: check out and bookmark www.micahchallenge.org.uk
- Get hold of a “Blow the Whistle” white whistle – let’s make some noise!
With the G8’s meetings taking place from Wednesday 6 to Friday 8 June, Micah Challenge will be a strong Christian presence at the planned GCAP rally in London on Saturday 2 June. GCAP is the Global Call to Action against Poverty and Micah Challenge is an integral member of its steering team, the International Facilitation Group.
