Make NOISE to End Poverty Worldwide

http://www.meetup.com/Stand-Against-Poverty/20830/

September 17, 2010

Objective:
To provide an opportunity for Bloggers to MAKE NOISE to impact the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Review Summit this September

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Review Summit will be held on 20-22 September 2010, in New York. This is a High-level Plenary Meeting the General Assembly of the United Nations to review how the promise to End Poverty by 2015 is faring. Stand Up Take Action End Poverty (SUTA) working with the EndPoverty2015 Millennium Campaign are mobilizing for three days prior beginning Friday September 17th till Sunday 19th. The big push will be this September 18th, 2010 for One Day of Unified Global Action taking an idea from the Africa Campaigners Retreat held in Malawi, to “Make Noise for the MDGs!”

The purpose is to encourage people all over the world to take part in common global actions which are designed to grab public, political and media attention and to make sure that the global movement in support of the MDGs are seen and heard in every corner of the globe.

This year Bloggers can start MAKING NOISE and have a unique opportunity to leverage and even influence the political and media focus surrounding the build up to the United Nations' MDGs Review Summit.

Whether your passion is in 1. Ending Hunger 2. Providing Universal Education 3. Ensuring Gender Equity 4. Ensuring Child Health 5. Ensuring Maternal Health 6. Combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases 7. Working for Environmental Sustainability 8. Creating Global Partnership your words can help raise awareness about them with a forum having global impact. Bloggers make noise not by volume but by the impact of your written words.

Last year Bloggers Unite for Stand Up Take Action End Poverty Now! was part of an online effort that was part of the larger effort in which 173,045,325 people Stood Up to End Poverty according to the Guinness Book of World Records. We can make a difference.
