Friday 16th – Sunday 18th October

Stand Up is the world’s largest mobilisation. It is a worldwide initiative seeking to end poverty, address its causes and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Stand Up participation has led to direct action and policy changes in many developing countries, where leaders saw that people in their country were passionate about ending poverty. However, many more steps need to be taken.

This year join us as more and more people come together to urge world leaders to keep their promises and do their fair share to end poverty and climate change.

You can Stand Up in your school, university, workplace, church or community group to add your voice to the growing worldwide movement that will not remain silent or seated in the face of poverty.
