Incentives for organizations collecting signatures

To maximize impact over the next several hundred days, young leaders have launched a global call to action – the #UpForSchool petition – to demonstrate unprecedented public support for education. The call will alert Presidents, Prime Ministers, Finance and Education Ministers, donor agencies and parliaments to the new sense of urgency called for by youth themselves. Youth participants will endorse the Education Countdown advocacy roadmap (http://www.aworldatschool.org/pages/Campaign-Roadmap) as the unifying set of actions to end the exploitation of children and provide universal opportunity through education.

This signature campaign has been launched at the UpForSchools Rally. To stay up to date with the #UpForSchools rally details and following events, please visit: http://www.aworldatschool.org/news/entry/upforschool-blog-youth-challenge-world-leaders-with-rally-and-petition
