Dear World Leaders,
THIS year, 2015, could be the one that changes the course of history forever — let’s take a decisive step forward in the fight to end extreme poverty and save our precious planet.
In 2015 we will be trusting you to set new development goals to protect this earth and make it a safe, equal and nurturing home for all.
More than 7 million of us have taken the MY World survey and voted for the world we want. We need a paradigm shift. These votes that represent the hopes and dreams of every 1 in 1,000 people on the planet for a better life.
We ask for better education, healthcare, jobs, honest and responsive government and so much more. Let’s get these new goals right so in 15 years time we aren’t writing these same words again.
Vote, listen and act in 2015. Working together we can be the generation that ends poverty and preserves the planet.
We the peoples
The open letter to world leaders has been appeared in print editions of Time, The Economist and the Financial Times.
