Stand Up Against Poverty Campaign

On October 15-16, The United Nations with the help of Aimee Weber Studio will be taking the global war on poverty to an unprecedented front ... the virtual world. Second Life residents will be able to Stand Up and be counted as supporter of the Millennium Development Goals and help abolish extreme poverty around the world.

To be counted in this historic endeavor, all you have to do is locate a "Stand Up" kiosk and obtain a free wrist band. There are nearly a hundred Kiosks around the grid already, including in the central plaza of Midnight City. On October 15-16, click on the wrist band to assume the "stand up" pose and register yourself as a supporter of the Millennium Development Goals. Your participation will be recorded and included in the final count for the Guinness World Record. Our contribution will make a thunderous statement to policymakers everywhere.
