STAND UP 2010
"When world leaders gather at the United Nations for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Review Summit in September, the voices of their citizens will follow them, telling them, loudly and clearly: "We will no longer stay seated or silent in the face of poverty and the broken promises to end it!' The demands and expectations of citizens across continents and countries, made visible and audible throughout 2010, will culminate in the "Stand Up 2010" mobilization. Stand Up 2010 will take place over three days beginning Friday September 17th, through Sunday the 19th."
