Micah Challenge is calling on supporters to write to the Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer, Wayne Swan, asking him to take action to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and reduce global poverty.
The campaign is known as an Offering of Letters and occurs each year in the lead up to the Voices of Justice conference in Canberra.
"We ask that you return your completed Offering of Letters to the Micah Challenge office by September 1 so that we can deliver them to Parliament as part of Voices for Justice from September 17-20," the Micah Challenge website says.
"We will deliver the letters to MPs in lobbying meetings, asking them to pass your letters on to Mr Swan in order to double your advocacy efforts!
"You can make an Offering of Letters with your church, family, small group or school any time during June, July or August 2011.
"A personal, handwritten letter is an effective advocacy tool in letting our leaders know that Christians are passionate about the fight against global poverty."
