For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Making Poverty History

category down | anti-capitalism | event notice author Friday March 18, 2005 14:56author by Mark Hewitt - SWP, ARNauthor email mark_hewitt at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

Mobilising for the G8

Public Meeting

“The fight to
Make Poverty History”

Speakers
Angela McCormick – Anti-poverty activist, G8 Alternatives Committee, Scotland
Goretti Horgan – Chairperson of the Northern Ireland Anti Poverty Network

7.30pm Wednesday April 6th
Room 302 Peter Froggatt Centre
Queens University

Poverty is one of the central issues of the age with nearly half the world’s population surviving on less than $2 per day and over one third living on less than a dollar per day.

In Northern Ireland, one of the poorest areas in Europe, 170,000 (25% of the population) exist solely on benefits. Wages here are at least 25% less than they are in Britain and over 30% lower than in the US. Homelessness is increasing and the availability of public housing is shrinking. The introduction of Water Charges will impoverish many more people in Northern Ireland when they are introduced. On that basis the Make Poverty History mobilisation is of crucial importance.

The Public Meeting is intended to raise awareness of the central issues, how various groups are fighting to alleviate poverty and most importantly to raise awareness of the mobilisation in Scotland on July 2nd.

For more information please feel free to call Gordon Hewitt, Campaigns and Information Officer at the Northern Ireland Anti-Poverty MTG on 07742 531 617 or 0845 120 3771.

They introduced me long ago to how to fight for a better world and understand that class conflict is at the bottom of it all. They give me advanced theory to help me with my union work and with my battles to stop the war in Iraq. Thanks SWP from a member of your sister organisation. Congrats on Galloway and respect!!!!

Few examples highlight better the rapid political degeneration of the Socialist Workers Party than its creeping accommodation to charity-mongering initiatives such as Make Poverty History (Weekly Worker March 10). In the March issue of the SWP’s middle-brow Socialist Review, comrade Chris Nineham tells us that “‘Make poverty history’ is becoming a rallying cry for 2005” (All Nineham quotes from this issue of Socialist Review unless otherwise stated). Apparently, this new coalition of “all the developmental NGOs, most trade unions, many campaigning organisations and a range of celebrities” has the potential - in the aftermath of the London European Social Forum - to “take the global justice movement to a new level”.

Global Vision: First Stage of the Poverty Removal Programme

The total population of the world is six billion. One quarter of the world's population–1.5 billion people–are living in extreme poverty.

In order to raise the yearly income of this segment of the population to US$ 2,000 per person per year, and eliminate poverty worldwide, US$ 3 trillion need to be generated every year on a permanent basis.

Data from the FAO1 suggests that in forty developing countries alone there are more than one billion hectare of unutilized land with agricultural potential.

Even one half of this–500 million hectare–will be able to generate US$ 3 trillion per year.

Broadly considering the profit from organic farming at the rate of US$ 6,000 per hectare per year, farming on 500 million hectare will generate US$ 3 trillion per year.

In view of the global perspective mentioned above, our initial programme is to cultivate 500 million hectare of unused agricultural land, i.e. half of the available land in these forty countries.
