Make Poverty History is launching a new campaign today.
from the website:
MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY launches its global 'Click' campaign.
Connor Amey
Today in London and across the globe Make Poverty History launched the 'Click' ad. The advert uses a number of instantly recognisable celebrities from Brad Pitt to Cameron Diaz, Colin Firth to Emma Thompson, Kylie to P Diddy (to name but a few) who, click their fingers every 3 seconds. Each click symbolises the death of a child. Across the developing world, one child dies every three seconds from extreme poverty.
With German, Canadian and other G8 coalitions developing their own versions of the 'Click' ad, the Make Poverty History campaign is building mass public support to challenge both the UK and other G8 governments to drop the debt, make trade just and give more and better aid to developing countries.
Over the coming months, millions of people will see and hear the 'Click' ad in cinemas, at concerts, on the radio and online.

the ads themselves air on the website from 8pm (GMT) tonight
