Tom Hart and I just delivered ONE’s G20 petition to the US delegation here at the Pittsburgh summit. The petition, now signed by more than 75,000 ONE members from around the globe, asks the G20 leaders to host an upcoming G20 summit on the African continent.

We expect the official summit communique to come out just before President Obama’s remarks, slated for 4:45pm EST today. We’ll keep you posted.
