We want to make an unforgettable noise about the subject of poverty this year.
So if you care at all about changing the world’s conversations or the world itself, please help us do this.

What We Need You to Do Right Now

Leave a comment below and share at least one idea of something a person can do on Blog Action Day 2008 – not just something they can blog about, but some kind of action they can take.

For example:

• Visit a local homeless shelter.
• Talk to your children about poverty.
• Don’t go shopping; give the money you would have spent to charity.
• Talk to a local government leader about poverty where you live.
• Start a new blog or website about poverty.

How to Make Blog Action Day 2008 Unforgettable

Please, please share this with your friends.

 

1. Ponder.

Think about poverty.
Ponder the plight of the world’s poor and your place in the grand scheme of things.
Consider the things you have that others have not.
Let the numbers appall you. Let the images disturb your sleep. Let the complexities of the causes and solutions vex you.
Let the depth and emotion of this sensitive subject rock you to your core.

2. Believe.

Do you really think that you can make a difference in the global conversation this October 15 just by blogging about poverty and doing something about it?
We believe you can. Do you?

What Would You Do With $10,000? KivaB4B Wants to Know

We have an exciting announcement plus a big, big question for all of you!

The KivaB4B Project, a unique partnership between Advanta Bank and Kiva.org, has committed $10,000.00 USD to Blog Action Day 2008 to help us encourage more conversation about and solutions for alleviating poverty.

The KivaB4B Project encourages small business owners, entrepreneurs and independent professionals (like bloggers!) to use their business to do good.

Advanta matches grants made by Kiva cardholders (up to $200/month) and recognizes blogs and other websites that market the Kiva card by making a donation to Kiva in their name (learn about the affiliate program).

We are excited to have these funds in support of Blog Action Day 2008 and look forward to working together with Advanta and KivaB4B to distribute the funds appropriately.

So now our big, big question for you, our 4,500-plus registered participants and thousands of blog and social media followers:

What should we do with the $10,000?

One Issue, Thousands of Voices

Global issues like poverty are extremely complex. There is no simple, clear answer. By asking thousands of different people to give their viewpoints and opinions, Blog Action Day creates an extraordinary lens through which to view these issues. Each blogger brings their own perspective and ideas. Each blogger posts relating to their own blog topic. And each blogger engages their audience differently.
