I have some great news! After a lot of hard work from many different people, Los Angeles will be declared a “ONE City” by proclamation during a press conference on Tuesday April 7 at 9:30am. The best part is, everyone in the area is invited.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will hold a press conference on the steps of City Hall to declare his support for ONE and to declare LA as a “ONE City.” This is a historic event. LA is the 2nd largest city in the US, and every member of ONE should be proud of this accomplishment.

The strength of ONE extends to all levels of government, whether it be volunteers in Iowa attending campaign rallies, or municipal governments proclaiming their support for the MDG’s. ONE will continue to build the political will at all levels of government and across all partisan lines to ensure that fighting poverty and saving lives remains a priority for the U.S.

Come show your support for ONE and thank Mayor V. for adding his voice in the fight against extreme poverty and global disease: http://www.one.org/event/GeneralEvent/861

WHEN: Tuesday April 7, 9:30am
WHERE: LA City Hall – 200 N Spring St., Los Angeles CA 90012
WHO: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, fellow ONE members, & YOU!

Hope to see you there!
