In a day and a half, the G8 is meeting in Edinburgh.
There's a massive movement focused on that event; it's called One — the campaign to make poverty history. I encourage you to follow the link through and, if you feel so moved, sign the declaration.
They're not looking for money, for donations, even for your time. They just want your voice. They just want to have as many names as they can, as many voices as they can rising up as one to say "this cannot go on!"
When I was a kid, I was a social activist. Now, I leave that to younger, more alert and aware folks like Zach. But there come times when you cannot leave something to "the activists" — something so big and so important that we must all join together to call for it to come to be.
Submitted respectfully for your consideration.

This is awesome. I was noticing on the One Blog that a group of SoCal teens put together a response to the the Live8 challenge and the One video.
Check it out. Then check out the comments about it, especially the one from the Vietnam vet, and realize just how powerful this is.
