It is an initiative of Harvard's. During the Olympics in China, I got to read what was happening behind the scenes due to this site. People who China wanted silenced weren't. And although main stream media didn't mention the aggression in Georgia they had up to the minute reports. There are topics from all over the world. Thank God censorship is not as easy as it used to be.

I was encouraged to be reminded of the successes we have had through out 2008. I wonder when giving these encouraging updates, might it be appropriate to include or mention other key players in making the successes happen. For example One.org may be involved in many projects that AVAAZ.org may have also worked to bring change to... (Note I am not in any way shape or form involed in AVAAZ.org, other than I think they too do great things.) Here's to a better 2009!

I pray that we can continue to work together as a national & international social activist group for Africa's Future and for the elimination of AIDS & extreme poverty around the world. I have ONE additional comment regarding Misty's and others' comments - ONE is ALWAYS in action. ONE should never be perceived as only in action when the DC office asks us to participate in an action alert. ONE is YOU taking our message and our goals into YOUR community 365 days a year! The more that we can see ourselves as ONE grassroots organizers instead of ONE volunteers (a la the Barack Obama organizing strategy), the quicker we will be able to accomplish our goals for the People of Africa and the rest of the world. All the Best for 2009. ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE - debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org I’m glad to see all the positive comments for ONE in this thread.

I hope that we can lockstep with President Obama as he embarks on putting the "human" back in humanity. He understands that you start from the bottom up; not the top down. I'm ready, let's roll.

i can choose to continue my life as it is

or i can take action, with many, as ONE

and help others to obtain the elemental privilege of life

that most of us live, without incident

with all of the violence and killing on this planet

and our mundane diffrences…

there are those who wish to simply live

we all have a story to tell

do not let

hunger, poverty, or disease

deprive this world from ONE story of

hope, kindness, and humanity

as we look ahead
there is still so much to do
everyone of you, i will follow…
the radiant and the contagious
with hope
