Stephanie Handler, ONE Regional Field Organizer, is now walking the group through the basics of ONE. Her talk includes the history of ONE, the definition of extreme poverty, the emergency of HIV/AIDS, what U.S. funding can do to help and what ONE believes we can do to help the world’s poorest people.

“The ONE Campaign believes that the U.S. enacting a comprehensive package which includes fair trade, debt cancellation, fighting corruption, and directing additional resources for basic needs such as education, health, clean water, food, shelter, and care for orphans, would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries. Therefore, the ONE Campaign supports efforts rooted in building strong, widespread support for bold, new initiatives to meet the Millennium Development Goals.”
