Find Your Calling
ONE volunteers are our greatest resources in the fight for the world’s poorest people. I want to thank our volunteers for their ongoing support of ONE and the world’s poorest people. In the past, many of you played an active role in ONE Vote ’08, and more recently in your support of the “Kerry-Lugar Amendment” that helped restore 4 billion dollars to the International Affairs Budget in the US Senate. We are proud of your support and help in each and every victory…but our work is not done and we need more volunteers to help us in the fight against extreme poverty.
ONE is proud to invite you to join a conference call on May 12th at 8:00 pm EST to find out how to get even more involved with ONE. We’ll be briefing you on the latest policy and legislative news, and also be announcing our new ONE Groups Tool and highlighting the upcoming Regional ONE Membership Conferences!
This is an exciting time for ONE and in order to grow and expand our efforts, we are asking you to please ask a friend to join the call as well. If you’ve been active with ONE for years or if you’re just interested in getting started in the fight against extreme poverty around the world you’re welcome to join the call and find out about volunteer opportunities through the rest of 2009.

ONE Volunteer Conference Call
8:00 pm EST
Call in Number: Toll-1-888-619-1583
After you dial in you will be asked to enter a participant code: # 256590
We now have the resources to fight global AIDS, malaria, and extreme poverty, and save millions of lives around the world. Through targeted and better aid, responsible debt relief, and improved trade opportunities, we now have the ability to partner with responsible but highly impoverished nations that are fighting corruption, demonstrating transparency and accountability, and create a better and safer world for everyone. All of this is possible, but will only become a reality if you use your voice and ensure that our elected leaders know that saving lives is not only possible, but that it is a priority.
