Parent's Against Poverty National Events
Thanks to everyone who visited their MP on 7 July. We’ve been able to make a real impact on the MPs we visited. Several have committed to making speeches in Federal Parliament about Make Poverty History and the issue of Maternal and Child Health in the near future.
If you didn’t get a chance to visit your MP on 7 July, it isn’t too late! Make Poverty History is continuing to focus on this issue. The next few months are crucial as we lead up to a special event at Parliament House in Canberra with MPs at the end of September. We will be launching the report 'What will it take to achieve the health MDGs in South East Asia and the Pacific?'
Not exactly sure what to say? We have a lobby guide (PDF: 59 KB) to help you out! And here are some hand outs for Government MPs (PDF: 149 KB) and Opposition MPs (PDF: 149 KB). Make sure you email us to let us know so that we can support you.
