This September, the United Nations will host the largest gathering of
heads of state since the Millennium Summit in the year 2000. At their
last Summit, 189 world leaders pledged to achieve the Millennium
Development Goals, in order to eradicate extreme poverty and its root
causes by the year 2015. The Goals represent a roadmap to finally wipe
extreme poverty from the face of the earth once and for all. With just
five years left until the deadline, the upcoming summit in September
represents the international communitys last chance to develop
breakthrough plans to achieve the Goals. We must tell heads of state in
no uncertain terms that we expect them to deliver on their promises.
What do you want world leaders to do at the summit in September to get
on track to achieve the Goals by 2015?
