ONE

Normally when Rock Stars put their names on something we are skeptical. Bono's organization to combat extreme poverty and the spread of AIDS worldwide pursues a mission we can get behind though. With millions of members in the U.S. alone, ONE is exerting influence at the highest levels and making a difference for the world's marginalized.

ONE.org is Americans of all beliefs and every walk of life - united as ONE - to help make poverty history. One is a campaign of over 2.4 million people and growing from all 50 states and over 100 of America’s most well-known and respected non-profit, advocacy and humanitarian organizations. As ONE, the organization is raising public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, disease and efforts to fight such problems in the world’s poorest countries. ONE asks our leaders to do more to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. ONE believes that allocating more of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the world’s poorest countries.

ONE is nonpartisan; there’s only one side in the fight against global AIDS and extreme poverty. Working on the ground in communities, colleges and churches across the United States, ONE members both educate and ask America’s leaders to increase efforts to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty, from the U.S. budget and presidential elections to specific legislation on debt cancellation, increasing effective international assistance, making trade fair, and fighting corruption. Everyone can join the fight. The goal of ending poverty may seem lofty, but it is within our reach if we take action together as one. You can start now by joining ONE and pledging your voice to the fight against extreme poverty and global AIDS.
