GCAP Hand-overs with Berlusconi
On July 2nd GCAP met the Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. Meeting participants included 10 GCAP member representatives (Oxfam/Ucodep, Save the Children, ActionAid, WWF, trade unions, UN Millennium Campaign, Legambiente, Aidos, Italian NGO Association and Focsiv) + 2 GCAP spokespersons; Italian Sherpa Massolo and his team; Berlusconi and his advisors.
We gave him a huge check symbolising the collective number of petitions gathered by GCAP international members.
We handed him over a total 1,538,500 signatures, including the 1.1 million signatures collected for the Oxfam 'For All campaign'.
Interactive online tool
The Interactive online tool “Press the G8” was online on the website of GCAP Italy as well as on the websites of many other italian and international organisations (Many thanks for your help guys!). The campaing 'Press the 8' has been quoted many times in newspaper and television.
Add the animation to your website. Contact Helena Suarez (helena.suarez[at]whiteband.org) if you need support to add this to your website.
Stunt and Media activities
The GCAP stunt of July 7th went very well, we got a very good media coverage (national and international) and our pictures where everywhere!!
We where 30 activists (Sylvia Borren and many others where there as well) putting pressure on this huge inflatables with the 'press the 8' campaign printed on it.
