Justice mail Action 21 May 2012

Dear Justice Mail Friends

Last month Church Action on Poverty asked John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, why some church lay staff are not paid the Living Wage. He responded with the challenge: "If your church doesn't pay the Living Wage, may the Holy Spirit put a bomb in your heart!"

Follow the link below to ask the Bishop of Birmingham ( or of another Diocese if you do not live within the Birmingham Diocese) to ensure all those working for the diocese receive a living wage.

Dear Justice Mail Friends

Three nights a week, Esther lies awake, listening for the splash of water on concrete. This is her cue to run from her bed. Esther queues for hours to collect water before the village tap runs dry. The Zambian government cannot afford to continually pump water to Esther’s village. So when the tap stops, she draws dirty water from the river – which Esther knows could make her family sick.

CAFOD are running a campaign, First For Change, asking the G8 to make water sanitation a top priority.

Please use the link below to email PM David Cameron and call on him to lead the world in demanding clean water and safe sanitation for all.  CAFOD will hand in the emails on water sanitation into No.10 in nine days time.
