This week I had the opportunity to attend the Elko County Democrats’ Roosevelt / Kennedy Dinner with special guest Senator Harry Reid. During the evening’s program, I was given a few minutes to introduce the ONE Campaign, the ONE Vote ‘08 initiative, share some statistics on extreme global poverty, and to encourage all of those present to sign the declaration and get involved. The response was enthusiastic and committee leaders took declaration sign-up forms, ONE bands, and printed materials to share at their next meeting.

The next morning, I represented ONE at the Nevada AFL/CIO convention in Reno. In addition to meeting dozens of people interested in ONE at our table in the lobby, I was afforded a few minutes to address the entire group in attendance. I shared ONE’s message and encouraged the hundreds there to join the 17,000 Nevada ONE member’s already fighting to end extreme poverty on a global scale.

It’s exciting to be a part of the many events and gatherings at which ONE is making its voice heard throughout Nevada.
