ARCHIVE: Highlights from the MAKE POVERTY HISTORY ZERO SEVEN Road Trip!

Over the winter, we’re looking through our video archives and bringing back some of our proudest moments – all to our new YouTube page! You can check out other past videos here.

 

The MakePovertyHistory ZEROSEVEN Roadtrip was held to coincide with the 07/07/07 midway point to the MDGs, mobilising Australia to strive for our nation’s aid target of 0.7% GNI by 2015.

For 7 days, 700 Ambassadors road tripped through 17 cities and regional electorates across Australia to Sydney. They spoke to over 50,000 Australians directly and reached a media audience of over 11,000,000 people.

As a result of the Roadtrip in 2007, Kevin Rudd to promised to give 0.5% GNI to foreign aid by 2015 at our culmination event at the Sydney Harbour Opera House.
