STAND UP AND TAKE ACTION 2009

We are on our feet to defeat extreme poverty and restore balace to the environment. We say to our leaders:
Be great.
Fight to keep your promises to end poverty.
Act now to meet and exceed the Millennium Development Goals.

Sign a global climate deal this year that is

• AMBITIOUS enough to leave a planet safe for us all,
• FAIR for the poorest who did not cause climate change but suffer the most from it,
• And BINDING with real enforceable targets.

You know what needs to be done. Do it.
We Stand Up not just today, but EVERY DAY to demand what's right.
We are six billion voices. We want justice now. No more excuses. We will not stand for them.

“Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.”

Nelson Mandela

Ours is the first generation that can create abundance and eradicate poverty. ONE by ONE . . . by ONE, we can Make Poverty History
