Ending Poverty in Our Time
As the ‘08 election season kicks off in earnest, a new and major campaign focus is coming to the forefront - ending third world and global poverty. U2 frontman and political activist Bono has launched the One Vote ‘08 group, a part of the 2.4 million member charity organization One. Co-chaired by former Senate majority leaders Tom Daschle and BIll Frist, the campaign is a bipartisan effort to bring fighting poverty to the mainstream.
With the group’s goal to “educate and mobilize voters” on the poverty issue, and a fall celebrity bus tour through major primary states, experts on this global issues are more popular and in-demand then ever. How can you help end poverty in our time? Let some of Keppler’s speakers show you how to make a difference!
