An army of ONE volunteers hit the candidate debate viewing parties on Monday night in Charleston, SC, banding and speaking to the presidential hopefuls before and after the debate.
I spoke to Senators Clinton and Biden, and they thanked us for fighting for international AIDS and poverty relief. We also signed up new ONE members at the viewing parties, including people working for the various campaigns.
All of the ONE staff and volunteers worked hard for the Charleston debate. It was well worth it and we won’t be resting anytime soon, since the national College Democrats of America convention will be at the University of South Carolina from July 26-29. Several of the candidates will be rolling through Columbia for the convention and they will be seeing some familiar faces in ONE bands and shirts.
