Make Poverty History: A decade on, has it made a difference? -Christian Today July 7, 2015 by Fulcrum Ten years ago today, almost a quarter of a million people marched in Edinburgh under the banner Make Poverty History. Around 8 million people wore the famous white wristband which came to symbolise the campaign and some 444,000 emailed Prime Minister Tony Blair. It was the largest anti-poverty movement the UK had ever seen, bringing together numerous NGOs, faith groups and organisations in the hope of ending structural injustices around the world.
