2005 was a landmark year in the fight against poverty. 2006 we are continuing to act together to ensure world leaders take the necessary steps to challenge gross inequalities and global poverty. GCAP is uniting again in global solidarity for the Month of Action 2006, which runs from September 16th through to October 17th.

Get involved! During the month of action millions of people across the world will Stand Up Against Poverty with GCAP. They will be calling on their governments to act to bring an end to poverty.
