** Stand Up Take Action

Stand Up & Take Action is the largest global campaign by people to take action for a better world - A world where no one goes to bed hungry, a world where we protect and respect the environment, where every child has free education and access to good health care, where we have decent jobs, a world with no HIV & AIDS and a world where women are celebrated and respected. We want people to Stand Up and tell everyone about the world they would like to see and live in. Last year, 117 million people around the world supported Stand Up & Take Action.

In South Africa, Stand Up & Take Action will mobilise 2 million people. We will do this by engaging people, all over South Africa, in their everyday lives on 16, 17 & 18 October 2009

• In schools and all other educational institutions
• In workplaces
• In places where people socialise such as shopping centres and cinemas
• In places of worship and other faith based gathering centres
• Through sport and sporting events
• And through art, music and other forms of creative expression
