*"Stand Up, Speak Out" calls for people of the world to hold their leaders accountable, to foster knowledge and understanding of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and to propagate global grassroots participation that positively impacts the decisions of world leaders. This is not about raising money; it's about raising awareness
