Posted by Ryan on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 at 9:52 am
On October 5, the United Nations and Habitat for Humanity is asking everyone to come together in recognition of “World Habitat Day” – a day to stand up and let it be known that affordable, adequate housing should be a priority everywhere.
According to the United Nations, more than 100 million people in the world today are homeless and millions more face severe housing problems including inadequate sanitation, security, and electricity.
So what can you do to make a difference come October 5?
- Submit a photo of yourself holding a sign that says “It All Starts At Home” to the Flickr photo petition.
- Urge Congress to pass the Shelter, Land and Urban Assistance Act of 2009 (the SLUM act).
- Educate your community with the “World Habitat Day” handbook.
- Link to Habitat for Humanity’s World Habitat Day 2009 Resource Page on your social media profile or blog.
