“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality” - Abraham Lincoln

Whereas the Malibu City Council and residents of Malibu believe that extreme poverty can be eliminated from our planet in our lifetimes; and

Whereas we seek to help implement the U.N. Millennium Development Goals and the Millennium Promise. We support the goals and steps articulated in Jeffrey Sachs’ “The End of Poverty”; among them, the eradication of extreme poverty by the year 2025; and

Whereas we seek to foster cooperation among individuals, organizations and nations;
and

Whereas we feel that Malibu has a unique opportunity to set an example for the rest of the world;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the City Council of the City of Malibu hereby declares Malibu as a Millennium Promise City; a city that stands united against extreme poverty and supports a plan to end it within our generation.
