Tonight at 7:00pm EST, ONE Sabbath 2009 kicks off as ONE members across the nation answer the call to engage in the fight against global poverty and suffering, literally.

The call will be led by Rev. Adam Phillips from our faith team, who will be joined by four activists representing a diverse range of faith communities. They’ll be talking all our exciting plans for ONE Sabbath, and its companion ONE Seva and ONE Sadaqa programs.

To join, call 877-229-8493 tonight at seven o’clock and then enter 15195 when prompted for the passcode.

On the call, you’ll learn how leaders in your church, synagogue, mosque, temple, study group or youth group can raise awareness while bringing belief and action together.

The inspiring conference call scheduled for tonight will also feature the voices and experiences of four activists of diverse faiths who add power to the fight against poverty and disease.

They are:

• Princess Kasune Zulu – a noted AIDS activist and speaker, as well as an associate pastor at River City Church in Chicago.
• Rabbi Shawn Zevit – the Director of Outreach and Tikkun Olam for the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation.
• Imam Mohamed Hag Magid – the Vice President of the Islamic Society of North America and Executive Director of the ADAMS Center.
• Ishani Chowdhury – the Director of Public Policy for the Hindu American Foundation.
