End poverty by 2015 is the historic promise our leaders made at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, unanimously agreeing to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.
Now it is time to deliver. On 18 June, during the Spanish Presidency of the EU Council, European leaders will meet to decide and agree upon on the European position. This will be formally presented at the United Nations Summit in New York on 20-22 September, the occasion for world leaders to meet ten years after their initial signing of the Millennium Development Goals.
Make them deliver! Take action! Write to your elected leader, with copy to the current President of the EU Council, José Luis Rodrìguez Zapatero, asking him/her to outline binding deadlines to increase aid and improve its effectiveness.
