Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.

This morning, August 15 2008, Blog Action Day has launched. In the next two months they are hoping encourage thousands of bloggers, podcasters and videocasters to learn about poverty, and on October 15, take action.

All the blogers are invited to examine poverty from their own blog topics and perspectives, to look at it from the macro and micro, as a global condition and a local issue, and to bring their own ideas, views and opinions on the subject.

Because Poverty as a subject for blogging can feel a little daunting, they’ve prepared a series of resources to help bloggers get started with tackling this issue. Visit the Resources pages for help.
