34 Million Friends Aid UNFPA

I am proposing that on International Women's Day, March 8, 2005, that millions of people here in the US and even around the world give one dollar (or the equivalent of) to UNFPA (here in this country, it would be through the US Committee for UNFPA). UNFPA is the one branch of the UN which has a special mandate for women and girls. This goes along with my long held hope that 34 Million Friends would become a worldwide movement for ordinary people taking a stand and sending a message to their governments that women's and girls' equality, education, rights including reproductive rights, and health should be of absolute paramount importance. It should be one of the world's top priorities. The world is paying a high price for not living up to this ideal. Can you help with this idea?

I am trying to get all colleges involved, the National Council of Women's Organizations with over 6 million members, churches, and on and on.
