THINK ACT MDGs @ STAND UP!

Dear Campaigners,

There is only one week left before we all stand together and demand that our world leaders live up to their promises to end world poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals. We need your help to ensure STAND UP is a success. You can help spread the word about STAND UP with three easy steps:
1. Share the STAND UP Videos
2. Become a friend of the Campaign on MySpace
3. Put up a STAND UP button on your site

The momentum around STAND UP keeps growing. Campaigners have already registered 500 events from every corner of the world. From Buenos Aires, to Lusaksa the world is coming together to STAND UP and make their voices heard. If you haven't found an event to attend, do it now!

On October 15/16 we will STAND UP as the first generation with the chance to end Poverty. We will STAND UP for the mothers needlessly dying of polluted water, we will STAND UP for the parents unable to give food to their families, we will STAND UP for the millions children unable to attend school. We cannot sit down when promises have been made in our names to help billions living in poverty. We all have to take action, we all have to STAND UP.

Best,
Amil and the UN Millennium Campaign Team

There are less than 3 weeks to join the world on October 15-6 and STAND UP Against Poverty! It's time for you to take action NOW!

STAND UP is an exciting challenge to set an official Guinness World Record for the greatest number of people to STAND UP Against Poverty and for the Millennium Development Goals. From schools in Kathmandu to churches in Texas , the world will STAND UP to remind their governments that promises to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and help the billions living in extreme poverty, must be kept.

To be part of this Guinness World Record, all you have to do is STAND UP for one minute in support of the Millennium Development Goals in the 24 hour period between 10:00 AM GMT, 15 October and 10:00 AM GMT, 16 October. You can hold your own event or find events in your area.

Our new STAND UP website (www.standagainstpoverty.org) is filled with resources for you to find or organize your own events. You will also find materials like fliers, brochures, and banners to promote STAND UP to your friends and networks.

Hundreds have already registered their events on our global events calendar. Maria Boyd in Australia will be having her entire school STAND UP, Graham North in Botswana is organizing STAND UP moments at football matches, Kirsty Hunter in Canada will be having a STAND UP moment during her church's worship service.

World leaders cannot ignore us if we all make our voices heard and STAND UP together. We are the first generation that can finally end extreme poverty, please join us and refuse to miss this historic opportunity.
