Stand Up and Take Action Against Poverty Campaign
CITYNET encourages its members to stand up, take action, and organise events throughout the Stand Up and Take Action Against Poverty Campaign.
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 till Sunday 19th.
The MDG Review Summit offers us as MDG Campaigners, a unique opportunity to leverage and even influence the political and media focus surrounding the lead up to the meeting and the meeting itself. Moving Stand Up forward to the weekend before the Summit will allow us to drive our activities throughout the year towards a high-profile Stand Up mobilization with a direct link to and with the specific intention of impacting on the proceedings at the Summit itself. It will also allow us to focus our activities and work in 2010 towards a specific policy moment and to articulate clear and relevant policy demands based on what we want our various governments and delegations to do leading up to the Summit and what we expect them to achieve at the Summit itself.
CITYNET Members Join the Campaign and Show their Spirit!
