 Stand Against Poverty Today! and Be Counted!! - Posted By: Chinwe

Hello,
I took a Stand Against poverty and inequality and joined my voice with millions of others who are Standing Up and Speaking Out today. We are setting a Guinness World Record of people who will not remain seated and silent in the face of poverty and calling on our world leaders to keep their commitments to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Join me and help break the record of broken promises.
