New "Global Population Speak Out" Campaign Launched

Global Population Speak Out (GPSO) has launched a new website for the Population 7 Billion: It’s Time to Talk campaign, which encourages supporters to “be part of the conversation” as the world observes the 7 billion population milestone on October 31, 2011. The new website offers many resources for supporters, including fact sheets, activity suggestions, a pledge to sign, and a video contest. The Population Institute, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Post-Carbon Institute, and Population Media Center are partnering with GPSO on the project. The goal is to spark a worldwide conversation about the implication of population growth and the benefits of preserving and expanding family planning and reproductive health programs in the U.S. and abroad.
