YOUR IF G8 CAMPAIGN TOOLKIT<br />
The Enough Food for Everyone IF<br />
<strong>campaign</strong> is a coalition of over<br />
170 organisations who have come<br />
together to give the government<br />
one simple message:<br />
They must act now<br />
to tackle world hunger<br />

One in eight people go hungry every day, and every<br />
15 seconds a child dies because of hunger. This year<br />
we have a chance to change that. Our government is<br />
hosting the G8 meeting of some of the world’s most<br />
powerful leaders on 17 and 18 June, and ahead of that<br />
a hunger summit on 8 June in London.<br />
Millions of hard-working families face the injustice<br />
of hunger every day; this is our best opportunity to<br />
change that. You can make <strong>your</strong> voice heard by coming<br />
to the Big IF in London on 8 June.<br />
Already we’ve created some huge changes. By <strong>campaign</strong>ing<br />
together this year we’ve made sure the government kept<br />
its promise to give 0.7% of our income in aid. We’re the<br />
only G8 country so far to do so. We’ve proved that when<br />
we all come together we can force the government to<br />
act. But now it’s crunch time.<br />
This <strong>toolkit</strong> will give you everything you need help<br />
<strong>campaign</strong> for change. In <strong>your</strong> town, in <strong>your</strong> street and<br />
online people are coming together to demand action.<br />
This is our chance – let’s take it.<br />
