Less than four days ago, I was contacted by a blogger named Daniel ( http://viralmente.blogspot.com/ ) who told me sent an informative email about a "new petition GCAP ( http://www.gcap.it ) aims to the authorities, reminding them of their agreements reached at the G8 summit in July to combat poverty. "I quote below the rest of the message:

To achieve the necessary visibility and involve users, we created a symbolic play on facebook, through which you can" put pressure "on the world's great: http://apps .facebook.com / gcap_press_the_eight /
To support has been made a fanpage ( http://ww w.facebook.com / home.php # / pages / GCAP Coalition--Italian-against-the-poor / 49992913309? ref = ts) and a video
( http://www.youtube.com/watch? v = P_2hl1R7UwE ).

After having viewed the movie on Youtube and play with the application on Facebook, I went to the website of GCAP to explore a bit 'to the question. I had already seen around the city some postcards like these

and, thanks to this happy exchange of information, I was able to understand a little 'better than what it was. In fact, Daniel has kindly given me the opportunity to interview a head of GCAP, Valentina Montanaro, which I quickly and cordially responded.

What is GCAP?

The GCAP Italy is the Italian Coalition Against Poverty (Global Call to Action Against Poverty), a network supported by more than 10 m illion Italian citizens, which brings together more than 70 organizations, associations, trade unions and social movements Italian and international civil and whose main purpose is to combat poverty and the effects of climate change.

How you can join GCAP?

All Italian citizens can participate in GCAP signing the petition on www.gcap.it , arguing our initiatives and by participating in our online campaigns on Facebook and other social networks. Italian organizations that are interested in joining may contact the GCAP secretariat for more information - the references are on the website www.gcap.it

What The Press 8?

'Pressthe8' is a campaign launched by GCAP in March 2009 with the aim to 'pressure' on the G8 leaders and Presidenz in Italian for you to keep promises on fighting poverty and climate change. With the Press 8, GCAP has mobilized people all over Italy participating in the Tour of Italy, the concert of May 1 and appointments of the G8 Summit to L'Aquila, including delivery of a grant of 1.5 million signatures to Prime Minister Berlusconi to require the maintenance promises on fighting poverty and climate change.

With this action, GCAP has managed to get its proposals on the table of G8 leaders in L'Aquila. This campaign is not over, however, after the G8, and indeed it is to spotlight off the need to continue to put pressure on the lea der because really keep their promises. The GCAP has continued to do so by writing an appeal to MPs, but also using the Internet to disseminate and make known more his message to Italian citizens.

The petition calls for the GCAP Italy and the other G8 countries keep their promises . Exactly which of these promises have been maintained so far and what not?

Among the broken promises from Italy, to pay its share of a $ 50 billion of official development aid promised by the G8 in 2005, by 2010.
Ignoring official promises, the Italian government has more than halved aid to developing countries in 2008 and 2009, and Italy is now at the bottom of the list of donor countries.

The G8 also promised to provide, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV / AIDS: a goal far from being reached also due to countries such as Italy, To date, there is has still not paid its contribution to the Global Fund against AIDS for 2009.

A promise kept regards, however, the debt cancellation for the poorest countries in the world, a promise made in 2005 and today. Here, too, Italy has made his part, but positively, by issuing in 2001 a law on a very advanced and applying it properly.

According to GCAP, Berlusconi has now and actually deliver on promises made to the earthquake victims of L'Aquila?

GCAP's work focuses on monitoring of the promises the G8 leaders do to fight poverty in developing countries, and not on what each leader is to the citizens of his country, on which we in gra do to make an assessment.

The GCAP did something more concrete than an online petition?

Press the 8 The campaign - which is part of the application face book - was launched in March and as I said, have already made concrete actions which, lentam institution, are making changes. But we need even more pressure on the G8's promises become reality for the world's poor

The play that developed and sympathy; I also liked the idea of \u200b\u200busing "rubber hammer," a great way to press the fold who have taken the last violent political events. The petition is based on a noble principle and, as one can call into question the effectiveness, costs nothing to sign, and is still opportunity to affirm their desire for peace and equal in the world. We propose again the direct link to the video, Facebook application and the petition:
