Snapshots of some of the University of Washington ONE members.
Thanks to ONE Campus students across the country, season 5 of the ONE Campus Challenge was one of our most successful to date. You collected more than 1,000 phones for Hope Phones, sent in 3,000 photo petitions, made 2,000 calls and wrote 3,000 letters to members of Congress and the Obama administration. Many thanks to the ONE Campus chapters across the country who continue to make a difference in the lives of the world’s poorest people.

ONE Campus is back and better than ever! An effort that has traditionally rallied students around the ONE Campus Challenge, this year’s ONE Campus program will focus on integrating our campus outreach into ONE’s national advocacy and campaign goals. This means more collaboration across universities and more opportunities for students to acquire the hands-on advocacy experience that they crave!
The program kicked off a few weeks ago with a live video-conference and call to action with Barbara Bush. With less than a month under our belts, we already have 100 student leaders across the country bringing the fight against poverty onto their campuses. This month, students are rallying around a number of advocacy actions, including ONE Vote 2010 platform drop-offs, “Lazarus Effect” screenings and an educational flier campaign around Halloween. The contest component of the effort will launch in early 2011.
Are you interested in leading the fight against poverty on your campus? Go to http://www.one.org/campus/ and become a campus leader or join an existing chapter. At this very moment, there are students on your college campus hungry to make a big difference for the world’s poorest people. We need your help to channel that energy and ensure legislative and policy victories for improved government, greater economic development and smarter aid in the developing world.
Join the fight to make poverty history today!
