ONE Takes Pittsburgh!
In anticipation of next week’s G20 Summit in Pittsburgh, ONE has taken to the streets to make sure all visiting world leaders and visitors will take notice of our message that Africa is part of the global economic recovery.
We’ve been blanketing storefronts, restaurants, bookstores and everywhere in between with posters that read “ONE World. ONE Recovery. Africa is Part of the Solution.” and featuring Morgana Wingard’s great design work. Special thanks to Nakturnal for the fantastic photos!
Meanwhile, in coffee shops all over the Pittsburgh area, we’ve been dropping of coffee sleeves with the same message on them. Take a look:
All of this is part of our larger effort to ask the G20 to hold the next Summit in Africa. Please lend your voice to this campaign here, and be sure to share it with your friends and family.
We’ll have more updates about the run-up to the G20 soon!
