Mayor of Lexington, KYOn Monday, Lexington Mayor
Teresa Isaac and local ONE volunteers gathered in Lexington,
KY to encourage America to lead the world in the
fight against global AIDS and extreme poverty.
This was a very exciting moment for volunteers in Lexington who have been helping since the
very early days of ONE. Well before LIVE
8, volunteers in Lexington have been hosting volunteer meet ups, setting up ONE
info tables on campus or at church, and writing letters to their leaders asking
for leadership in the fight against extreme poverty. The Mayor speaking out on behalf of The ONE
Campaign really shows how far the volunteers have gotten in their city!

Aside from Mayor Isaac there
were also three other speakers who were willing to use their voice for the
world’s poorest people. Richard Mitchell
is the director of the Central Kentucky Council for Peace and Justice, Chantel
McCormick is a ONE campaign volunteer who helped make Lexington one of the
first to be proclaimed a “City of ONE,” and Lynn Phillips who is a professor at
the University of Kentucky that includes a presentation on global poverty and
ONE every semester. All the speakers
were great!
