STAND UP Campaign (Sunday 15th October, STAND UP moment @ 3pm, Parkers Piece)

CUUNA would like to seek your support for the global STAND UP campaign (www.standagainstpoverty.org). The STAND UP campaign is part of the global movement called the ‘Global Call to Action against Poverty’ (GCAP). Launched by the Millennium Campaign (www.millenniumcampaign.org), ‘STAND UP’ is a mobilization initiative designed to coincide with global mobilizations around the International Day of Poverty Eradication and the White Band Day of the GCAP. It is an innovative and exciting challenge to set an official Guinness World Record of the greatest number of people ever to physically stand up for 1 minute against poverty and for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) between 10am GMT 15 Oct – 10am GMT 16 Oct 2006.

Details of our STAND UP event:

Date: Sunday 15th Oct 2006
Time: 2-5pm (CUUNA Official ‘STAND UP’ moment @ 3pm)
Venue: Parkers Piece, Cambridge

Besides the CUUNA STAND UP moment at 3pm, which we hope as many people as possible will participate, the campaign will also encompass other activities such as participators signing on a huge white cloth as well as opportunities for you to find out more information about UNA-UK, the MDGs, international development issues and much more!

Everyone is welcome! Show your support for this global movement and have your voice heard!
