Don't stand by, STAND UP, TAKE ACTION!

Hello all,

Let's start thinking about the International Day for the Eradication of World Poverty. I would like to host a rally at Hudson Park so we can all stand up against poverty. This will be Saturday, October 17th 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Please mark your calendars!

The purpose of this post is to gather ideas:

What would you like to do with your families and community on this day?
How can we take action (community service, letter writing campaign, etc)?
Should we have a stilt-making workshop beforehand, so we can get really big on behalf of the world's children?

For more ideas, please visit: http://standagainstpoverty.org
and http://www.care.org/stand

I would like your thoughts. I know that we are all very busy, so let's keep the discussion going on our blog.

thanks,
Alix
