Make Poverty History

Coldplay, Deep Purple, Dido, Green Day, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, REM, Tragically Hip, Sting, U2 will be amongst performers at the Live8 Concerts across seven countries on July 2. The concerts, of course, are part of an effort to get the G8 leaders meeting in Scotland to act more forcefully against global poverty. Technorati is aggregating blog content about Live8, while Indymedia intends to provide grassroots coverage of the G8 Summit. The Live8 site also has a petition you can sign asking for action against poverty by the leaders of the G8 nations.

Meanwhile, July 1 has been designated the first White Band Day by the Global Call to Action against Poverty. More information about the Indian White Band campaign, Wada Na Todo, is available here.

Update : Dave Sifry, CEO and founder of Technorati, blogcasts at Supernova 2005 on Technorati's support for Live8.
