On October 16 + 17, millions will demand an end to poverty and inequality and the achievement of the Millenium Development Goals. With your help, many voices will come together as one and Speak Out so loudly that we cannot be ignored. It is up to you to spread the word and let all your friends, family and neighbors know that we are the first generation that can end poverty and we will not miss this historic opportunity.
Last year 23.5 million people joined in to set a new Guiness World record. This year, we request you all to join in to break last year's records. Every person counts! The event will be covered by the media to make sure your voice is heard wide and far. We specially request NGOs and the youths of schools and colleges to participate, to demand the governments to keep their promises to end poverty and meet millennium developmental goals that they have promised.
