On 10 September, ahead of the UN Summit, people across the world will unite in the second GCAP mobilization - to demand that world leaders Wake-Up to Poverty. Thousands of people will be holding breakfast meetings with politicians, all night vigils, rallies outside state buildings, jamborees, petitions and early morning press calls. World leaders will literally be waking-up to the voices of people demanding action to end poverty before they depart for the UN Summit. These actions will be mirrored in New York on 14 September, the opening day of the Summit, with a stunt including alarm clocks to 'Wake-up' the delegates. Millions of people will also be wearing white bands - the symbol of the campaign - to show their solidarity for an end to poverty.
