Please sign petition:https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_children_and_mothers/97.php?cl_tta_sign=4a0e1f6c2bea48e727ae52877c88b490
In days our leaders meet in New York and could act to save millions of pregnant women and children who die every year because of malnutrition or inadequate health services.
But there is a danger that they use the recession to shirk decade old commitments to eradicate poverty. It has always been the world's citizens that have led the fight against poverty and pushed our leaders to take critical action -- now it is up to us again.
Let's urgently build a global outcry against these needless deaths.. Sign the petition below to double aid for maternal and child health -- it will be delivered to key government leaders inside the meeting in New York.
To world leaders:
As concerned global citizens, we call on you to renew your promises to tackle poverty by 2015 at the Millennium Development Goals summit in New York. We urge you, in particular, to double aid to drastically reduce maternal and child mortality, and to ensure funds are delivered in a coordinated and effective way.
