Next month on October 15th, you will have the opportunity to join a multitude of other individuals in the online space to speak out on an important issue that affects us all: global poverty.
Blog Action Day is in its second year of existence and already it is drawing a huge audience. It is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Their aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.
From their site:
From the smallest online journals, to huge online magazines, to EU ministers, to professionals and amateurs, Blog Action Day is about mass participation. Anyone is free to join in on Blog Action Day and there is no limit on the number of posts, the type of posts or the direction of thoughts and opinions.
Even if you don’t have a blog, look around at the list of blogs taking part and join in on the discussion. Here at Pulse and Signal, there will definitely be a post concerning this issue. I have registered to take part. Feel free to drop by and check out what I come up with and join me in talking about global poverty.
Spread the word. Join in the conversation. Now more than ever YOUR words and thoughts matter and can be heard.
Still interested? Head on over to the Blog Action Day website for more information and materials to use to spread the word.

Hey Amy! Thanks for stopping by
Well I have 10/15 marked down on my calendar as a doubly important day then! Looking forward to connecting and helping out.
Hey, Andre; Oct 15th is Dday for me in SO many ways, as that’s the deadline for the DML grant I want to talk to you about!
Appropo in some ways I suppose…as it could ‘lift ME out of poverty’ for Shaping Youth.org and keep the lights on! Seriously though, look forward to connecting in the next week or so to get your feedback. ttys! A.
