On Friday April 5, a global community of individuals, organizations and institutions are coming together to recognize successes to date and reinvigorate discussion and action on the MDGs still to be achieved.

The 1,000 minute rally across social media is to feature photos and stories illustrating the impact of the MDGs so far. You can follow @ILO or via #MDGMomentum on Twitter, or view the slideshow  of collected photos and captions.
