People around your state, the country and
our world are joining together,
calling out with one voice:
CARE's National Day of Action will take place on October 17, 2008 – the UN's International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. On this day, events around the world will promote solidarity with people and communities everywhere who struggle with extreme poverty every day, especially marginalized women and girls.
Do your part by joining other passionate and dedicated individuals who believe the United States can do more to help families and communities overcome poverty. Together, we can send a strong message to the next President of the United States that Americans care deeply about the plight of the world’s poor.
It's easy to get involved! CARE will provide tools, information and materials – you just need to add friends! Gather your family, coworkers, teammates and classmates – whomever you’d like – to explore concrete actions we can all take to advance U.S. policies to empower women and end poverty and injustice in one community after another. Whether your event is a small gathering of friends who are first learning about global poverty, or a large group of people who want to send a powerful message to the next president of the United States, we’ll give you the resources you need to make your National Day of Action event a resounding success!

Give Us Your Feedback!
Thank you for participating in the National Day of Action! When your event is over, please take a few moments to fill out our feedback form. We are eager to learn about your event, and gather your thoughts on how we might make next year's National Day of Action even better. Respondents will be entered into a drawing for a free trip to the 2009 CARE National Conference in Washington, D.C.!
This is the CARE Action Network (CAN) and members like you are making a difference by working to educate our nation's leaders about issues of global poverty. Together, we ask our elected officials to adopt policies that address the underlying causes of poverty, such as gender inequality and poor governance.
