Bring your organization and network together to plan and implement an action or event on awareness, accountability and impact on the SDGs.  Here are a few examples:

• Organize an SDG Performance on a public space
• Organise a rally or a peaceful demonstration for the SDGs in your city.
• Give an SDG introductory lesson at a school assembly or classroom
• Organize a public discussion with young people, or in communities of marginalized people, invite a politician or leader to join.
• Organise a public SDG trek
• Run an SDG wheel poster challenge
• Capture the SDG stories in your community and share them on the global day.
• Collect voices of marginalized peoples speaking about their situation or of the SDG movers and shakers in your community and let viewers experience the need for SDG action in your community and share them via video, photo, or 360 media.
• Collect MY World responses and create a People’s Voices Report to handover to your leaders on September 25th, set up a MYWorld voting booth in your community, school or place of worship and display results, citizen scorecards and MY World human stories.
• Collect short videos of politicians and citizens pledges on the SDGs
• Prepare a public statement or memorandum about how we are doing on the SDGs and submit it to your government in a public event  or send to local media.
• Organize an SDG film screening

Large and small businesses are key to accelerate SDG impact.  Whether aligning your business strategy to the SDGs or engaging your staff, your  involvement is crucial for the achievement of the SDGs. Here are some ideas:

• Promote SDGs and Global Day on your website
• Communicate how your company has integrated the SDG in the business model
• Share the SDG principles with your shareholders and stakeholders and report on how your company meets and or exceeds tax requirements and other key labour, environmtal and social standards and regulations set by governments, UN organisations as ILO and others
• Be a SDG leader and a role model within the business community  – Introduce policy and operational changes to set a global example and raise the bar on social and environmental measures  (ex on gender equality, sustainable supply chain, eliminating plastics, etc)
• Introduce Sustainable Practices – Meatless Mondays in cafeteria, Recycling programme/food waste donations to food banks, energy efficiency, etc
• Be creative, take a group photo of staff recreating the SDG Wheel
• Run the MY World survey with the staff and analyse results and SDG progress within the teams
• Give staff the option to volunteer time for an SDG action of their choice on September 25th.
• Launch staff challenge/appreciation initiative – SDG employee of the month
• Donate your social media reach and join the #Act4SDGs campaign online
• Run a photo series of customer’s lives and how they relate to SDGs (see Humans of MY World)
• SDG awareness branding on your product/services
• Host community/staff family event on SDGs or goals related to your work
• Sponsor or host a public awareness event – 5 km run, beach clean up, tree planting, fundraising for local cause, etc with SDG info (see example for linking SDGs to events)

Each action can have impact on this day.
Here are some ideas how you can take action at home, at work or in your everyday life:

• Eat less meat, poultry, and fish. More resources are used to provide meat than plants
• Eliminate single use plastic
• Shop local and search for sustainably produced options
• Join a program supporting homeless, migrants or conservation efforts in your community.
• Compost, recycle, go for the items with less packaging
• Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup, and ask your office manager to replace plastic with reusable cups.
• Bring your own bag when you shop.
• Bike, walk or take public transport.
• Make sure your company uses energy efficiently
• Voice your support for equal pay for equal work
• Speak up! Ask your local and national authorities to engage in initiatives that don’t harm people or the planet
• Report online bullies. If you notice harassment on a message board or in a chat room, flag that person.
