Why get involved?
In an increasingly polarised world in which inequity continues to grow and in which new forms of polarisation, populism and dispossession are emerging. Climate change, war and conflict are leading to the displacement and impoverishment of a multitude of communities and even whole societies. The need is greater than ever for initiatives that promote solidarity, transcend difference and embrace the concept of a shared humanity.
It is still in your hands to combat poverty and inequity.
The call to action is as broad and as inclusive as possible – identify those in need around you and do what you can to make a difference with them and for them.
