Stand Up and Make a Noise UK
On 18 September 2010, campaigners from Bond NGOs gathered with drums, bells, whistles, pots and pans outside the House of Commons. The message, expressed on banners and in chants was clear: Keep your promises: Deliver the MDGs.
The action was part of Stand Up and Take Action - the global campaign for a
breakthrough action plan at the Millennium Development Goals Review Summit in New York,
organised by the Global Call to Action against Poverty.
A video has been
produced of the actions all around the world which received its premiere at an
anti-poverty rally in New York's Lincoln Plaza. Pictures can be viewed on Flickr.
