Stand up Against Poverty

Do you remember hearing all about poverty issues in the media in 2005? Well, poverty hasn't gone away, just the media attention has. So as the next push to keep the spotlight on ending poverty, the world's largest anti-poverty movement - the Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP) - needs your help.

From 16 Sept to 17 Oct is the GCAP Month of Action and they are attemptingto get the world record for number of people standing up to demand action on poverty – but the record they really want to break is the world's record of breaking promises and just ignoring the poor.

I've taken the action already, so it would be great if you could join me at:

(and then help spread the word further by sending this email to your friends, family and colleagues)

Thanks for your help. It helps put life in perspective when we participate in solving one of our generation's biggest challenges
