Raise Your Voice About Poverty - Sign Up for Blog Action Day!

Posted: 15 Aug 2008 08:11 AM CDT

Often the most uncomfortable things in this world don’t get talked about, even if they’re among the most important things in this world, simply because we don’t like to talk about them.

Poverty is one of those issues, and oftentimes it goes with little notice, despite its extreme effect on people’s lives.

On October 15, 2008, if you are a blogger, you have the chance to raise your voice about poverty, and join the voices of thousands and thousands of other bloggers speaking about poverty … on the same day. It’s called Blog Action Day — go check it out.

Last year, you might recall that I helped FreelanceSwitch’s Collis Ta’eed start Blog Action Day, and it was an amazing success. Thousands of bloggers, large and small, united on one day to talk about one issue — the Environment.

This year, the Blog Action Day topic is Poverty. If you have a blog, I highly encourage you to go sign up now. We’ve just launched today, and already there are more than 600 blogs signed up — as of this writing (there will probably be hundreds more by the time you read this). I expect thousands to sign up, representing millions of readers, within the next few weeks.



What do you have to do to participate? Do you have to take a pre-determined stance on Poverty? Not at all. All you have to do is blog about Poverty on Oct. 15, 2008 … and do it in any way you like. If you want to talk about the causes of Poverty, feel free to do so. If you want to write about what people can do, or about the history of it, or about how it relates to technology or the environment or simplicity or happiness or business or whatever you like to blog about … please do so. You can write whatever you like … as long as you blog about it on Oct. 15.

Already nearly 20 of the Top 100 blogs in the world have signed up, along with hundreds of smaller blogs. Participating blogs (as of this writing) include such major blogs as Lifehacker, Tech Crunch, Mashable, Problogger, Copyblogger, Daily Blog Tips, Smashing Magazine, ReadWriteWeb, GigaOm, Inhabitat.com, PronetAdvertising and more.

As you can probably tell I’m super excited about this. This is yet more proof that there is so much good in this world, and despite there being so much suffering, there are people who care, people with compassion, people willing to raise their voices to do good for others.

Please join us and be one of those people!
