The DC-based indie band Army of Me is showing its support for ONE and the fight to end extreme poverty by donating their song, “Rise” to ONE members this week.

Listen to “Rise” on the ONE Podcast Page

“We are honored and humbled to be involved in this campaign. I grew up in the United States, where I have always had the food, shelter, and medicine that I needed. I have been fortunate; I’m like a man who is
born into a wealthy family and living in a great castle. But there’s another man, just like me, and he’s living right outside my gate. This man is extremely poor and he is dying. He’s dying because he is sick and has no medicine. He’s dying because he’s thirsty and has no clean water. He’s dying because he’s hungry and has no food, and no way of obtaining it. This man is my neighbor.

Through the ONE Campaign, I have the ability and the means to TAKE ACTION, to leave my comfortable castle and go down to the street and to LOVE my neighbor. Love requires action, and the biggest obstacle to love is my own inertia. Let us all RISE to this occasion, to this wonderful opportunity to be involved in ending extreme poverty in Africa.”
