Outside City Hall on Friday 9 December from 5.00 - 8.00pm, campaigners and members of the passing public will be invited to take a minute to help make poverty history by lighting a candle, signing a petition on Trade Justice to the UK Minister, Alan Johnson, and hanging their white band on a specially commissioned replica of an African blackwood tree.
