Join us to take action to end poverty and inequality
As the Civil Society Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra, Ghana reached its conclusion GCAP launched the start of a period of intensive campaigning starting in September and culminating with the annual Stand Up and Take Action mobilisation.
Adelaide Sosseh, GCAP Co-Chair and activist encouraged people worldwide to join in:
“There is a period of unique opportunity in the 50 days ahead when people can show they won’t accept the suffering of human poverty any longer. There are ways for every man, woman and child in the world to take action, however small and local, so that leaders fulfill the Millennium Development Goals, adhere to the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and stretch their efforts to narrow the staggering inequality that exists in our world today.”
Millions of people all over the world can join with their personal actions, by participating in poverty hearings, marching up in rallies, playing at anti-poverty football matches, volunteering or donating support, or by taking action online.
Why not take your first action now by pledging your support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
The mobilisation will reach its peak with the annual Stand Up and Take Action against poverty and inequality and for the Millennium Development Goals, which this year will take place between October 17-19. Last year 43.7 million took part, and this year we want to make it the biggest ever.
Make sure to find out about Stand Up, organize your event and register with the website so your action can be counted!
