Feet down in Denver
I’m here with a ONE crew in Denver, starting up the 1st leg of ONE’s convention outreach.
Below check out our new traveling headquarters: “the ONE Bus”. This week it’s in Denver for the Democratic National Committee Convention. Next week we’ll drive the bus to Minneapolis/ St. Paul for the Republican National Committee Convention.
Right now, folks are just setting up, and at 9am (mountain time) Democratic delegates and volunteers will be coming by to learn more about ONE and how to get involved.
Later today, we’re partnering with World Vision to run a service project building volunteer kits for AIDS caregivers around the world.
Check back to the ONE Blog over the next 2 week for more updates from the ground.

Great looking bus, Virginia, I wish y’all well in Denver in spreading the news about what ONE is doing to stop AIDS and extreme poverty in our world.
I would love to know more about the World Vision project. Can you share with us some more about that? Looking forward to hearing Hillary Clinton speak tonight.
And in the midst of all the energy surrounding the Convention, I hope that ONE comes away with THOUSANDS of more people who have signed up to become ONE with us!
ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE – debbie
