Potter stars back 'Make Poverty History'
 

Alan Rickman (Snape) & Emma Thompson (Trelawney) will feature in a 'click advert' showing their support for the very worthwhile 'Make Poverty History' campaign.

The campaign aims to encourage G8 governments to cancel debts, make trade fairer and give more and better aid to developing countries.

The 'click' advert can be viewed here.

To get involved in the campaign, please go here. From this page you can join the campaign, email Tony Blair, send a postcard to the prime minister and get a white 'Make Poverty History' band.

Information on how to get a white band, can be found here.

Thanks to *Snivellus* for the tip!

i want a white bacn i have just bought one.. thanx emm

I'm wearing my white band right now! I'll go e-mail Tony Blair again.

that's cool

I want one too but it's weird because you have to make your own if you live outside UK ...or something :dunce:

^ That's only if you can't get one. They do provide international addresses from which you can purchase them from.

This campaign is international though, other countries are a part of the G8 coalition and so will have their own means of providing the bands to people from their countries.

I cant do it

thats great such a good and worthwhile cause aswel!!!!

Do you really think that would help?
But who knows?

I've posted a thread at every Polish forum I know. Hope that'll make more people aware.

That i think will be quite and effective advert

wow.every 3sec. that sad.

LMAO! That sucks.

Wow, it's great all these celebs getting involved just makes people more aware. Sigh, 3 secs, heard to believe, it's too horrible :(

Don\'t be so condescending!

As Desmond Tutu once said, if you make the noise deafening then the politicians have no choice BUT to listen.

Thanks, it\'s an extremely worthy cause. We might be adding a banner on SS to show our support for the campaign.

It\'s great that word of this is getting out to more people, especially worldwide. This needs to be changed. On a side note, the advert, in my opinion, is extremely powerful and well done.

It\'s in all the little things WE do everyday...
 

In a perfect world this would happen.

*sighs, rolls up his sleeves* Well. Let\'s get cracking people...this world isn\'t going to make itself perfect.

One person can make a difference...but a bunch are better...*winks*

It\'s true. I couldn\'t help the tears.

Very well done, hits home like those "I am a stroke" commercials... those always make me weepy, and this one did, too. Alan Rickman\'s such a fox, too.

thats neat!

That\'s great! doing something for a good cause is always worthwile.

aww...every 3 sec.thats sad!

Thats really cool what they are all doing! Now i can get another colour band to add to my collection!

One quesiton though:
What\'s a G8 government?

Living in US makes things harder! :(

that\'s awesome more celebrities should give money torwards these types of charaties
