Brian Taylor is a member of

makepovertyhistory.ca

and you can be too.

The folks there make it really easy to make a contribution to the leading combatant of poverty, homelessness, famine and governmental inaction.

Each country will have it’s own site, with emails being sent to it’s members with appropriate news stories, form letters for action, all relevant to your local government. So if you’re not from Canada, go to makepovertyhistory.org

Individuals, together can make a difference.

Another great service is provided by

avaaz.org

This service is politically motivated but it more "all encompassing" rather than just focusing on poverty. They too make it very simple to lend a tiny feeble voice to a chorus of millions for awareness creation. It actually works! Check it out...
