Can a big gathering of people and pop stars really change the world? It’s easy to be cynical about Make Poverty History, about white bands and about the GB. But with 30,000 children dying every day in Africa, now is not the time for cynicism. Repetition should not dull just how shocking that figure is, and now we have an historic opportunity to do something about it. The List is giving away Make Poverty History wristbands and producing the definitive guide to G8—related events this issue because we think there’s a real chance that the rally and the protests will make a difference. You can stay in with your curtains closed if you want, but the rest of us will have our marching boots on. Find out everything you need to know, starting on page 15.
