<b>From the bottom-up, the Million Message March to the UN arrives
in NY<br>
June 8th, 2011 - Non Stop for 24 hours (0h-24h CET)<br>
Speak-Up Sessions for the UN High Level Meeting on HIV / Universal
Access<br>
<br>
</b>Come tell the UN and its 200 member governments what you think
and need for your Right to Health.<br>
Together, the community will forge its Declaration for the 'World's
Leaders'. <br>
<br>
Wednesday the 8th of June marks the opening of the High Level
Meeting of the UN on Universal Access and HIV, and the <b>Million
Message March to the UN </b>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'. <br>
<br>
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 <b>Speak-Up Sessions</b> 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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
