Show your support - Stand Up Virtually

Dear friends,

It is that time of the year again! The Stand Up and Take Action Campaign that began on October 16 and will continue till October 18th.
We are sure most of you have ardently watched and participated in this Campaign over the years but for the uninitiated, in this global mobilization that happens simultaneously across the world, citizens take various actions to remind the world leaders about their commitment to meet the Millennium Development Goals and End Poverty by 2015.
This year in India Stand Up has coincided with Diwali. Since this is one of the largest pan Indian festivals and many of you may not be able to attend Stand Up events, we request you to please add your might to the global mobilization by participating in an online Stand Up Action on October 16, 17 or 18th.
Please visit http://www.standagainstpoverty.org/ and click on STAND UP NOW in the sitting figure (bottom right of screen) to Stand Up virtually. Your action will get counted automatically.
You can also SMS STANDUP to 55454 on October 16, 17 or 18th and show your support for this campaign.
Warm regards,
Millennium Campaign India team
