ONE and (RED) Call on President Obama to be Bold in the Race to Defeat AIDS
ONE and (RED) are calling on President Obama to focus his Administration on defeating HIV and stepping up U.S. global leadership in this arena. We ask that the President set specific and measurable goals with deadlines. Those goals should include the following:- An AIDS Free Generation by 2015: no child should be born with HIV by 2015
- 15 x 15: ensure 15 million HIV-positive people are on treatment by 2015
- A drastic reduction in the rate of new HIV infections by 2015.If the President commits us all to these bold and world-changing goals he will have helped pave the way to the beginning of the end of AIDS.

ONE Statement on the Passage of the FY 2011 Budget
At ONE we like to imagine a world where infants and children no longer die from malaria, where all babies are born HIV-free and those who currently live on $1.25 a day have found economic opportunity.

ONE Statement Regarding FY 2011 and FY 2012 Budgets
As Congress faces the tough job of restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington, we strongly urge Members to not turn their backs on the world's most vulnerable. We, along with our 2 million members, will vigorously make the case on their behalf. There is living proof across the world that less than 1% of the total federal budget has helped poor farmers learn to grow more food more efficiently, provided a lifeline to millions with HIV - including pregnant women whose babies can now be born HIV-free -- put millions of children under malaria-fighting bed nets by night and into schools by day, and strengthened America's friendships with millions of people, thus strengthening our own national security. Congress should reorder its priorities and continue America's lifesaving legacy. MORE
