STAND UP and SPEAK OUT to Make Poverty History
On October 17th, Join Millions Around the World to Stand Up and Speak Out
On October 17, 2007 -- The United Nations Day for the Eradication of Poverty -- join millions around the world as they STAND UP and SPEAK OUT to Make Poverty History. STAND UP is an innovative and exciting challenge issued by the Global Call to Action Against Poverty and the United Nations Millennium Campaign.
Last year, 23.5 million people worldwide, including 49,000 Canadians, stood up against poverty in a 24 hour period, setting a Guinness World Record.
Show your support for the global fight against poverty and let world leaders know that we are holding them accountable for their promises to end poverty by 2015.

Thank you so much for posting about this! I was so moved that I went to the website and registered my own event! If we all stand together, we can truly end extreme poverty once and for all.
