What is Live 8?
LIVE 8 is part of a day of action across the world which kick-starts The Long Walk to Justice that calls on the leaders of the world's richest countries to act when they meet in Gleneagles on 6th - 9th July. On July 2nd in London, Edinburgh, Washington, Berlin, Paris and Rome millions will be coming together to call for complete debt cancellation, more and better aid and trade justice for the world's poorest people.
In short, 5 concerts, 100 artists, a million spectators, 2 billion viewers, and 1 message... The purpose is to get those 8 men, in that 1 room, to stop 30,000 children dying every single day of extreme poverty.
LIVE 8 is calling for people across the world to unite in one call - in 2005 it is your voice we are after, not your money.
