If you could save a life by simply standing up, would you do it? Can one person standing up save a life from death by poverty? Perhaps not, but when 43.7 million people around the globe stood up last year it got the attention of international leaders , who have the power to finance and implement life saving policies. It all starts with one person, you, standing up. You will be joined by many millions more.
