Dear Artists, Colleagues and Friends:
I would like to ask your help with the largest grassroots
effort that has been developed to "Bridge Unmet Needs to Untapped
Resources" on the community level, in every United
Nations member country.
Our latest global focus was support for the Stand Up Against Poverty
2009 initiative, where 173,045,325 citizens gathered at over
3,000 events in more than 120 countries, demanding that their governments
eradicate extreme poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals:
STAND
UP 2009 is a starting point that engages the use of technology in a Twitter,
Facebook, MySpace, YouTube world. But as noted above, 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. --
Stand Up Against Poverty - 2009: The Next Level: Humanitarian Resource Institute, 19
October 2009.
Your input is invited regarding specfic needs and information support for
24/7 strategic planning and policy development (National
Academies of Science).
Looking forward to your support,
