Check out events in your area

When you have found an event, make sure to tell your friends, engage with your neighbours and help promote it.

When you attend the event make sure you:

  • wear white
  • sport your white band
  • bring a friend

Can’t find an event in your community? Stand Up by signing-on to Make Poverty History during September 17, 18 or 19 and make your voice heard.

Or if you’ve got a little time to spare, see what events are already happening in your community September 17, 18 or 19th and find out if you can add a Stand Up moment to that event. Find out how to add a Stand Up moment.
Promote Stand Up to all your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours. Ask them to participate in local Stand Up events or to Stand Up online. Help us share Stand Up on Facebook and Twitter. Stay tuned for social media tools to help you spread the word.
