Meeting Our Budget Group

First I jumped into Annisa Wanat of ONE’s group on the budget. Annisa started off by having everyone in the room introduce themselves.

-Katie is here from Minneapolis. She read Jeffrey Sach’s book The End of Poverty years ago, and ONE has helped her advocate the changes she wants to Congress.
-Barbara is here from Lakeview, Minnesota. She got hooked into ONE through Bread for the World.
-Sherry is the president of an elementary school. She’s a mom, and she’s busy, but she’s found that she can still take action through the ONE Campaign emails. (Just recently Sherry was asked to lead a in-district lobbying meeting in a ONE email, and she wanted to come to the budget session to learn more.)
-Ron Schulte drove in from Des Moine Iowa this morning! He’s been taking email actions and it’s been great for him to see many of his actions be fruitful. Ron wanted to come to this training to find out how to take his work to the next level.
-Rachel is from Afton, MN, and heard about ONE through U2.
-Ben (who I met during registration) drove in from Wisconsin to attend this training. He first heard about ONE from an email that a friend forwarded to him. He came to get more involved.

Time was ticking and I still wanted to learn more about the Jubilee Act, so I ducked out and headed into Monét in depth-session…
