Building a Movement through Music Builds
The 23-city ONE Music Builds tour kicked off in Detroit on August 21 with tons of excited fans showing up to see their favorite bands, have some fun, and learn about great organizations like Habitat for Humanity and ONE! ONE staff and volunteers showed up to help recruit new members to the campaign and found the crowd to be very receptive especially when three ONE video clips were screened throughout the evening explaining ONE’s mission and how everyday Americans can get involved in the fight against extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries.
The tour continues next week with a concert on September 11th in Cleveland, Ohio, where we expect to continue recruiting new ONE members! Also, we still need ONE volunteers at some of the tour stops. If you’d like to help out, sign up here!
