999 It’s Time is a new movement seeking to use the numerology of the date 9th September 2009 (09/09/09 > 999) to highlight the state of social, economic and environmental emergencies we face and to catalyse positive personal change.
In the UK, 999 is the number to dial for the emergency services, the equivalent of 911 in the USA and other countries.
We are the Emergency Services…
We shall Emerge and See…
