ONE Bus in the news!
Check out this great article about Megan’s adventures aboard the ONE Bus that ran in yesterday’s Bowling Green Daily News. As you know, Megan’s been travelling with the ONE Bus for some time now, and will be rolling through Ohio this weekend after spending some time in Kentucky.
Be sure to check out our ONE Bus page for the details and send Megan good vibes while she’s out there on the road spreading the word about our fight against extreme poverty and disease.
Excerpts below, full piece here
After learning about the One Campaign organization three years ago at the University of Louisville, Schweizer became an active member in spreading the word to politicians on issues such as extreme poverty and global health.
This year, Schweizer “jumped on the bus,” and joined several others across the country in touring the United States in an 18-wheeler to remind future leaders of the country about issues that could impact the world.
Schweizer said the bus has definitely made an impact on the presidential candidates, as One’s causes are something “they can both agree on.”
