Support the UN’s Millennium Campaign ‘Stand Up Against Poverty’

By now, you should have probably heard about this campaign from booths set up on campus. If you have not, then here is your chance to get a bit of useful information. For the fourth year in a row, WUSC, through Local Committees, will be supporting the UN’s Millennium Campaign to ‘Stand Up Against Poverty‘. This is all in an effort to send a clear and urgent message to world leaders that we want to end poverty and inequality by 2015, which happens to be one of the MDGs that 189 world leaders agreed to adopt as part of the Millennium Declaration at the United Nations Millennium Summit in September of 2000.

How can you support? Head on over to StandAgainstPoverty.org to find out how you can take action now to end poverty! Supporting can be as simple as submitting your name or hosting public events to publicize the campaign. Poverty will only end if we take an active part in its eradication. Let’s start here.
