*From the bottom-up, the Million Message March to the UN arrives in NY
June 8th, 2011 - Non Stop for 24 hours (0h-24h CET)
Speak-Up Sessions for the UN High Level Meeting on HIV / Universal Access

*Come tell the UN and its 200 member governments what you think and 
need for your Right to Health.
Together, the community will forge its Declaration for the 'World's 
Leaders'.

Wednesday the 8th of June marks the opening of the High Level Meeting 
of the UN on Universal Access and HIV, and the *Million Message March 
to the UN *arrives in New York for this important global health event. 
The March is a collaborative campaign over 7 months to mobilize the 
broad 'community' towards greater involvement in Right to Health 
issues, by gathering their messages, online and frontline, and 
delivering them, loud and clear, direct to our 'World Leaders'.

To amplify the 'voices' of the community, and mobilize new interest 
and energies on related issues, the IMAXI Cooperative, friends and 
partners are organizing over 75 *Speak-Up Sessions* non-stop during 
the 24 hours of June 8th. These Speak-Ups, moderated live from dozens 
of communities around the world by partners, experts and activists on 
diverse topics, are 20 minute long chats on twitter, with links via 
SMS, Facebook and blogs. The topics for each session are the 
moderators' choice, derived from the draft UN Declaration (or what’s 
missing) and related issues of interest to their community members / 
followers.

The Speak-Up Sessions encourage a wide range of people to be more 
involved, through various platforms of communications, and to join in 
the ‘open’ drafting of recommendations which will be included in the 
final declaration. These community-driven policy documents will be 
submitted at the end of the Million Message March to the High 
Commissioner on Human Rights on HR Day in December.

Together, we're opening the UN, and delivering the community's Right 
to Health messages loud and clear, from the bottom up to the top.
