About STAND UP TAKE ACTION
Join millions worldwide to STAND UP and TAKE ACTION against Poverty and for the Millennium Development Goals.
In 2000, leaders of 189 countries signed the Millennium Declaration agreeing to do everything in their power to end poverty. They pledged to do this by achieving the Millennium Development Goals, a roadmap to end extreme poverty by 2015.
Still, every day, 50,000 people die as a result of extreme poverty and the gap between rich and poor people is increasing. Nearly half the world’s population live in poverty, 70% are women. We have the power to change this.
On October 17-19 2008 campaigners worldwide will STAND UP and TAKE ACTION to push their governments for more and better aid, debt cancellation, education for all boys and girls, healthcare, trade justice, gender equality and public accountability.
STAND UP and TAKE ACTION is a joint initiative by the UN Millennium Campaign and the Global Call to action Against Poverty.
