A tale of two ONE groups
In Paris and London this weekend, ONE members came together – without any prompting – to start organising to take further action as ONE. At the core of both groups were long time ONE members who had their first chance to volunteer with ONE at the U2 concerts in Paris, London, Sheffield, and Cardiff.
I managed to meet up with the London crew, share a drink, and talk about what ONE has on deck and how everyone can be involved. In Paris (pictured), the team plotted out the organisation of their group and what work they would like to be doing moving forward.
If you’re an elected official in London or Paris, rest assured you’ll be hearing from these motivated ONE folks soon. And if you’re a ONE member here or across the Channel, leave a comment to say hi or bonjour and start getting more involved.
