STAND UP PLEDGE

We are standing now with millions of people around the world
on this historic day, to show our commitment to the fight against
extreme poverty and inequality. We only have six years left to the
2015 deadline to realize the Millennium Development Goals.

Today, we Stand Up together to say to our leaders:

Act now to achieve and exceed the Millennium Development Goals.

Commit to bold leadership at the G8/G20, to combat extreme poverty,
transform global economic and financial systems, tackle the impact of
climate change on poor countries and eliminate poverty in Canada.

We will continue to Stand Up, not just today but every day, to say:
No more Excuses, End Poverty and Inequality Now!”
