What is Act! Speak! Build! Week?
Act! Speak! Build! Week is a student-initiated week of advocacy on behalf of Habitat for Humanity and housing issues. Act! Speak! Build! Week empowers young people to educate themselves and their communities and move people to social action. Young people, ages 5 to 25, work in partnership with local affiliates to plan and host events focused on ending poverty housing.
World Habitat Day and Act! Speak! Build! Week
Hundreds of groups organized their Act! Speak! Build! Week around World Habitat Day 2009, October 5. The day, designated by the United Nations, is an international effort to emphasize the importance of improved housing for the world’s poor. Thanks to all those who helped recognize World Habitat Day 2009!
We encourage groups to start planning now for World Habitat Day 2010, October 4, as we raise our voices and declare that the lack of decent, affordable housing is unacceptable. World Habitat Day occurs the first Monday in October each year.
If your group is unable to use Word Habitat Day as a platform to raise awareness, Habitat invites you to organize your Act! Speak! Build! Week during the dates that best suit your group and to use the resources available below to help make your voice heard.
