38.7 Million people around the globe stood up and spoke out against poverty, smashing last year's record of 23.5 million.

Of this, 103,000 people were Australians - thanks everyone!

A special big thankyou to the 2154 of you myspacers who participated in our online 'Myspace stands up' pledge - we were all blown away by your participation and kind messages of support. WELL DONE!
thankyou to all who commented on the blog and who reposted our stand up bulletins.

We'll also be posting lots of local stand up photos here on myspace and at www.makepovertyhistory.com.au

We look forward to a world where poverty IS history.

thanks again!
