As a musician in Los Angeles, I am in the midst of doing more to bring awareness of ONE to Los Angeles. In such a huge metropolis, I'm surprised there isn't more activity from the L.A. musical community. As a newly minted ONE member, I've begun to start coordinating more events here in earnest with the L.A. team leader. People seem to know the name ONE, but no one seems very aware of what ONE is actually doing, and just how poised for success some of these nations are, with the proper support.

Maybe One could think of inviting its supporters to create blogs of their own to help get info out. I've seen other sites do that with some success. Thanks Debbie for the information.

Grassroots organizing - bringing the message of ONE to your schools, your places of worship and elsewhere in your community is the surest way to get the message of ONE out to the American people and build the MASS MOVEMENT of everyday Americans for Africa as ONE was envisioned at its beginning. The Internet is fine as one tool to spread the word about ONE - but it can not be the only tool that we use because not all Americans are connected to the Internet. Thus, if we really want to get more coverage for ONE in the American media, we need to look at what each one of us are doing to build a grassroots movement for ONE in our areas. That sort of public awareness of our movement is what will ultimately get us the coverage in the media that we want and that our issue deserves!

So exciting to see American leaders - both Republicans and Democrats - on the ground to see where the programs that ONE advocates for, are helping to save lives and enable an entire generation.

I understand that there are many stories to cover, but in my mind, there is none more important than the work that One.org and its supporters are doing. Thanks to Senator Frist for the blogs keeping us all informed. I have always believed that the people who work for and support One.org are special people. These blogs just confirm it. Thanks to everyone connected with One.org for all that you do. It is amazing to me that the work that One.org is doing is not receiving the publicity it deserves by the Media.
