Banding Obama in Boston

Last Thursday night at an event in Boston, MA, ONE member Phillip Williams was able to meet President Obama and briefly advocate for ONE. He wrote me from the event:

All good. Was able to hand him a ONE band in a handshake but was reaching over someone. Got a nod when he looked at it. Wasn’t able to talk but I’m sure we will cross paths again.

Using your voice for ONE can be a powerful action that can help save millions of lives in the developing world. From passing a ONE band to the President of the United States, to making a call today to your Senator urging them to sign onto the Bipartisan Budget Letter that would uphold the International Affairs Budget – your voice matters and can make the difference!
