More volunteers keep flooding in.

Annie Chung learned about ONE when a friend forwarded her a petition online a few months ago. She checked out the website and knew she wanted to get more involved. The idea that individuals are banning together to make a difference is meaningful to her and she’s doesn’t want to just sit around and wait for things to happen, she wants to make things happen.

Julie Drysdale came from Santa Cruz with her eleven-year old son Danny. They learned about ONE at the 2006 Warped Tour. Julie is an activist, but she’s really here for Danny, who’s psyched to do ONE organizing with his friends.
