Stand Up and Take Action 2008
Stand Up and Take Action 2008 will be taking place during October 17-19, less than four days away!

Last year, 43.7 million people around the world took part in the biggest global mobilisation to end poverty and inequality and for the Millennium Development Goals. It wouldn't have been a success without your support and participation.

This year, at a time of global financial crises and food shortages, more than ever we need to ACT together in order send a strong message to world leaders to keep their promises to end poverty and inequality. Your actions count, and this year we're hoping to mobilise 1% of the population - that's over 67 million people around the world.

Today, we are asking you to Stand Up and Take Action once again. What can you do?

Take the ONE Campus Challenge!
From the ONE Campus Challenge:

"Below are a couple of key Campus Challenge dates you should keep in mind. The Campus Challenge runs from the Tuesday, September 16th until Tuesday, April 7th. Along the way there will be hundreds of opportunities to score points. And, each Tuesday, a special high worth action is announced by email - The Weekly Challenge - where you can score extra points and win prizes.

--- HINT! HINT! --- "Global Day of Action Against Poverty" and "World AIDS Day" will both be key weekly challenges where your creativity and organizing skills can score you big points. To get ahead of the curve, start thinking and planning now!"

the Challenge? "The Campus Challenge (OCC) is about building that will. Whether that means recruiting friends, sending letters to Congress, or raising visibility by snapping a shot of your mascot in a ONE shirt, we'll give you the tools and information to take action and track your progress along the way."

Why I Support This Cause!
Poverty
i support this cause because thousands and thousands of fake clothing labels go into lanfill each year instead of dumping them they could atleast give them to charities that will use them, and Poverty is just one of them.
