Stand Up and Take Action 2010
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" mobilisation from 17-19 September.
All kinds of actions will take place over these three days. On 18 September, people all over the world
will come together to 'Make a Noise for the MDGs'.
Examples
of noise- making ideas include citizens gathering in a public space to bang
spoons on metal plates as a way of illustrating hunger, church groups and temples arranging for bells to be rung at the same time on
that date in cities across their country and musicians coming together
to play their instruments in innovative
locations An online action allowing people to generate a noise through
a mobile phone application will also be made available.
