Dear Artists, Colleagues and Friends:
The international community
is now engaged in the systemic collapse of Haiti, following the devastating
earthquake, this last week. As the world struggles to respond to
this humanitarian emergency, the cost of negligence and neglect of the worlds
severely impoverished populations, is finally being grasped by world
leaders.
With 3.5 Billion people
or half of the worlds population living in severe poverty, the United Nations Arts Initiative "Hope for Humanity" Campaign,
will target the completion of objectives outlined in the "Stand Up Against
Poverty - 2009: The Next Level" Initiative.
"STAND UP 2009 was a starting point that engaged the
use of technology in a Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube world.
But as noted, the issues on the table need to go far beyond a tweet or
a post of support on Facebook or MySpace. We need real time communication
of prioritized issues, engagement of top experts and formation of background
discussion groups for review and analysis, compilation of peer reviewed
supporting information for communication to the decision making level,
media, etc., etc. Through this advocacy approach, consensus building,
grassroots strategic planning, and response are achievable at the speed
of an email."
