Stand   :)

 

 

 

 

 

Today is the Global Day of Action against extreme poverty, and around the world millions of people will be literally "Standing Up" as a demonstration of their commitment to fight for the poorest people in the world. It’s the easiest of actions, but when 116 million of us do it together—as we did last year—it’s a profound statement.

This year we’re going a step further by asking you not only to Stand Up, but to shout out and encourage your friends to do the same. Once you make your stand, just update your Twitter and/or Facebook status to spread the word.

On Twitter, you can click here to post the tweet below or just copy and paste:

I’m Standing Up against poverty today with @onecampaign. Pls RT and join me. #standup09

On Facebook, first become a fan of ONE at

http://www.facebook.com/one.

Then set your status to:

I’m Standing Up against poverty today with @one. Please post this as your status and join me.

Remember, if you type "@one" into your status message, Facebook will create a link to ONE's page so your friends can click to learn more.

Each of the last two years, we’ve set a new world record for most people taking action for a cause at the same time. If everyone takes part and spreads the word, we may very well go down in the pages of Guinness again this year.

So start right now. Stand Up.

Thank you for taking action,

 

Sheila Nix

US Executive Director, ONE.org

 

P.S. If you don’t use Twitter or Facebook, you can still spread the word by forwarding this email to a few friends and asking them to Stand Up, or by visiting the ONE Blog to learn about other ways to Stand Up and take action:
