Join hands on October 15th & 16th, 2006 to set the first ever Guinness World Record for the largest number of people to STANDUP... Against Poverty!
We are inviting you to join forces with people all over the world to: STAND UP to bring Poverty Down!
STAND UP for the Achievement of the Millennium Development Goals
STAND UP and demand that promises made by our governments must be kept
STAND UP and be heard!
STAND UP and be counted!
WHAT IS STAND UP?
STAND UP is an exciting and innovative challenge in which we are attempting to set an official Guinness World Record for the most number of people ever to STAND UP Against Poverty on October 15-16. A minimum of ten thousand people must physically “STAND UP” Against poverty; we have just 24 hours to set this record. Every person counts!
STAND UP is a mobilisation initiative designed to coincide with global mobilisations around the International Day of Poverty Eradication and the White Band Day of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty on October 17th.
STAND UP will raise awareness of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and publicly demonstrate the growing global support for the achievement of these Goals.
STAND UP is an opportunity for your organization to be a part of an exciting and innovative global event in support of poverty eradication and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
How to be counted
The physical act of Standing Up Against Poverty is in itself a strong symbolic statement. But for the symbolic statement to have impact, it is crucial that these Stand Up efforts are acknowledged and counted. We are currently working with Guinness World Records to finalize the logistics for counting and monitoring this record setting attempt and are asking each event organizer to take responsibility for monitoring and recording their own numbers. Once the event is complete and the final numbers are counted or estimated as accurately as possible please arrange for someone to take responsibility for filling out these details online via a simple form that will be found at www.millenniumcampaign.org/standup
