Blog Action Day 10/15/08: Poverty

[Greg]

Are you guys participating in Blog Action Day? It's one day (October 15) where bloggers everywhere will write about one topic -- poverty.

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.

What is the aim of Blog Action Day?


The purpose of Blog Action Day is to create a discussion. We ask bloggers to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue.


By doing so on the same day, the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue.

Wise Bread is in. Are you?

Yes, I'm in! And I've suggested it to my PF Bloggers network for that month's Group Writing Project, which happens to fall on the same day. Thanks, Greg!
