A lot of time and energy has gone into redesigning and revamping ONE.org. Suffice it to say, it was no small task. The new website, we hope, will allow us to connect with you faster, easier, and more frequently to bring you the latest campaigns, actions, policy analysis, and updates in a format that is both fresh and easy to use.

In addition to the redesign, ONE.org will also function a bit differently with new features and content. Below is a sample of what you’ll find on the new site. We’ll be adding new features and content in coming days. Be sure to check back on the ONE Blog for more updates:

• Homepage—We’ve drastically redesigned the homepage to feature more diverse, interesting, and up-to-date content. You can use the carousel to navigate through ONE’s current campaigns, initiatives, policy analysis, and other hot topics. We’ll also use this space to periodically draw special attention to various featured series.
• Act Now—This will be your go-to spot to take action on any and all of ONE’s campaigns and initiatives. With step-by-step instructions on how to contact your elected officials and take action in your community, Act Now will be an awesome reference guide for all ONE Members.
• Issues—Here is where we’ll present the issues ONE advocates—from Trade to Agriculture, Education and Disease. Each issue will have its own page outlining the challenges and opportunities presented, along with quick facts and an up-to-the-minute feed of all relevant blog posts and other news. These are designed for policy novice and expert alike.
• Policy News—This will serve as a live feed of breaking news and policy analysis produced by our renowned policy team. For those seeking to learn more about what’s going on in the world in the fight to end extreme poverty, you’ll want to bookmark this page.
• ONE Blog—Long a staple of ONE.org, the ONE Blog will become a more integral part of the website, integrated seamlessly into various policy and issues sections to bring readers a live feed of what’s going on in the world of global development. With regular contributions from ONE staff, members, and partners, the ONE Blog will be an invaluable tool in staying connected with one another in the fight against extreme poverty.

This is just the beginning—over the coming days, weeks, and months we’ll be unveiling new features and content. Like ONE itself, our website is only as strong as the members and volunteers who use it. Your feedback is always welcomed. Thanks for visiting ONE.org!
