One



What is ONE?
ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally Americans - ONE by ONE - to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. The ONE Campaign is engaging Americans through a diverse coalition of faith-based and anti-poverty organizers to show the steps people can take, ONE by ONE, to fight global AIDS and poverty


What is the goal of the ONE campaign?
The ONE Campaign seeks to give Americans a voice, to ring church bells and cell phones, on campuses and in coffee shops, for an historic pact to fight the global AIDS emergency and end extreme poverty. We believe that allocating an additional ONE percent 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 of the poorest countries.


Why should the Corridor get involved?
ONE of the desires we have in the Corridor is to partner with others in an incarnational way on issues that should concern us as disciples of Jesus Christ. Issues of extreme poverty and AIDS world wide should compel us to want to take action like the Good Samaritan did when he saw his neighbor wounded along the road. Counting yourself as ONE is only one small way of helping and I hope that we will do much more; but this is a step and our combined voice as ONE on this issue can make a difference.


If you want to count yourself as ONE and add your voice to those who desire to make extreme poverty history in the world then go to one.org and add your name to the list.

Thank you,
James
