Stand Up and Take Action

Stand Up and Take Action is a global mobilisation to end poverty and inequality. Last year, 43.7 million people joined Stand Up worldwide, setting a new world record.

This year, help us break that record and send an even louder message to governments.

Join the global movement of people who refuse to stay seated or silent in the face of poverty and broken promises to end it! 

This year, we are asking people to Stand Up and Take Action between Friday 17 and Sunday 19 October 2008.

Help us make this year's Stand Up the biggest mobilisation against poverty ever: find out more about Stand Up, organise your event and register now!

To make your Debt Week event part of the Stand Up and Take Action world record attempt, all you need to do is organise an event, register it on the global website, and then afterwards report how many people came.

You can do all this on the Stand Up and Take Action site.

Please also let us know what you're organising via and we'll add it to our events calendar.
