Actions

The 999 team have identified 9 Action Areas in which we can all effect positive change with remarkably little effort. Far better than attempting to prescribe what you do, we intend to create a national debate over the coming months: what are the most effective actions that we can all take in these 9 areas? To join this debate, please choose an Action Area from the menu above.

Together with our Ambassadors, we will then synthesize and distil the most credible and popular ideas into the core 999 Manifesto, mobilizing as many people as possible to get involved. This will suggest a range of actions and activities that individuals can take up day-to-day, every day, between now and 999 DAY. Actions will range from political lobbying to petition signing, campaign joining to telling your friends, writing poems to fundraising, to organising an event, to switching to a renewable energy supplier.

On 999 Day itself, thousands of people across the UK will show their solidarity in the face of our current crisis and realize that it is also a tremendous opportunity. By collectively taking simultaneous actions on 9 September 2009 we will generate a critical mass and a critical volume to send an irresistible signal to all those in power that action must be taken – and taken now – if we are to avert disaster. 999 needs you to be part of the (re)evolution.

"We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now... There is such a thing as being too late... We may cry out desperately for time to pause ... but time is deaf to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones... of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words - 'too late'." - Martin Luther King
