Youth challenge world leaders with rally and petition
More than 300 youth activists held a rally in New York to demand world leaders act to keep their Millennium development Goal promise and get 58 million children into school by the end of 2015.
As the 69th United Nations General Assembly begins, the young activists are launching the #UpForSchool movement and petition. And they're being joined by some big names on the world stage - including Graca Machel and Gordon Brown.
This blog will keep you up to date with news, pictures and videos from the youth rally and the launch of the petition. The rally starts at 4.30pm EST but you can visit throughout the day for updates on a historic day. All times given on this blog are local New York time (EST).
You can sign the petition now.
Thank you for your support
