On Sunday, October 21st, thousands of Angelinos gathered on the streets of West Hollywood in an effort to raise awareness and money for AIDS programs. The day was gorgeous with 80 degree weather and blue skies (Little did we know that L.A. was burning all around us). The energy was high and the excitement was contagious as the AIDS Walk volunteers cheered us on and reminded us of how important our efforts are and the many lives we are affecting.
With our ONE.org signs raised high and wearing our ONE T-shirts, the LA ONE.org team was united as we made our way down the route. Passing the West Hollywood cheerleaders, members of the community there to cheer us on and hosts from local radio stations, ONE.org got a lot of “shout-outs” along the walk. Folks even yelled out: “I’m a ONE member!” The best part was when folks asked us “What is ONE?” allowing us the chance to share what the ONE Campaign is all about.
On another topic, fellow ONE.org member Candace Cheong and myself attended an EDUN event in Los Angeles on October 17th (a few days before the AIDS walk) where we were able to purchase the new ONE T-shirt by the socially-responsible company EDUN and speak with EDUN founder Ali Hewson. We asked Ali if she had any words of wisdom for the fellow ONE.org walkers in the AIDS Walk. She said: “Don’t get blisters!”
A few more pics from LA AIDS Walk 2007 below.

At long last, the new 2007 ONE Campaign T-shirts by EDUN have arrived. Pick yours up at the ONE online store today!
EDUN is a socially conscious clothing company launched by Ali Hewson, Bono and NY clothing designer Rogan Gregory. The company’s mission is to create beautiful clothing while fostering sustainable employment in developing countries.
Just like last year’s, these comfy and fashionable shirts are made in Lesotho, Africa, of 100% African cotton.
Importantly, $10 of every purchase goes to the ALAFA (Apparel Lesotho Alliance to Fight AIDS) Fund, which provides life-saving AIDS treatment to factory workers and their family members. Since 2006, ALAFA has helped 45,000 Lesotho apparel workers fight back against an AIDS pandemic which claims roughly 2,300 lives in the Lesotho apparel industry every year.
By purchasing a ONE Campaign T-shirt by EDUN, you’re bringing trade to one of the poorest countries in the world, helping to fight HIV/AIDS, and promoting a cause that matters. Not shabby for a T-shirt.
