Interns on Assignment

September 28th, 2006 at 12:00 am | posted by Laura, Field Team Intern, the ONE Campaign

On Saturday, September 23, ONE Campaign headquarters sent interns Katy and I to help the Campaign’s concert team at the Virgin Festival, hosted by Virgin Mobile at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, MD.


The Festival featured more than 20 acts (from THE WHO to The Killers) on multiple stages and allowed non-profits, like ONE, to do outreach at the event by setting up booths and walking the grounds. By the end of the day, with four of us working the event, we collected 1,000 new ONE Declaration signatures.

ONE concert experts,
Brande and Aaron, staffed our table, handing out materials and information about the Campaign. People visited our booth to buy wristbands, ask how they could get more involved or just to see what all the fuss was about. A lot of fans were eager to ask questions since they had already heard about ONE from last year’s Live8 concerts.


As Katy and I wandered the field, trying to avoid stepping on garbage and holding drinks for people as they signed our clipboards, I was especially overwhelmed by one thing: there were still so many people we hadn’t talked to.


Here we were, just two people armed with black ONE T-shirts and smiles, in a sea of forty thousand people who were mostly concerned with… well, themselves. At times it felt pointless. What were 1,000 signatures when there were 39,000 more people who we hadn’t talked to? I kept telling myself that we could have done so much more with more volunteers, and more time, and less Gnarls Barkley breaks.


And yet… that’s how advocacy goes sometimes. You have to throw yourself, body and soul, into a cause, spread the word to as many people as possible, and then sit back and take some time for yourself. You just have to trust that one or two of the people you talked to will talk to their friends… and those friends will tell more friends… and a new ONE group will be born in an area that had previously been completely unfamiliar with poverty issues.


That’s the great thing about ONE. None of us, not even the biggest celebrity in the world, is going to eradicate poverty on his or her own. No matter how many office hours you work - no matter how many wristbands you give to your friends at school. What a funny conundrum: we need to depend on each other in order to help each other. One person, one voice, one vote at a time…

ONE Voice. ONE Vote. Add your<br /> signature to the ONE Declaration.
