Here’s Matthew:

Matthew McAllister is a sophomore political science major at the University of Colorado – Boulder. He got involved with ONE after attending a U2 concert in 2003. Since then he’s worked around Colorado getting cities on board with the campaign by passing supporting proclamations. He also helped get a proclamation through the Colorado State Senate that declared Colorado to be a State of ONE. This past summer he worked for ONE in helping to plan efforts surrounding the DNC and build grassroots support.

At CU he worked with the student union and the Chancellor’s office to declare the University a Campus of ONE. He intends to make humanitarian work a part of his career in the future. Matthew’s other interests include slacklining, the balancing sport that involves walking on a 1-inch wide piece of webbing, ultimate frisbee (lives in Boulder remember), and video editing. He’s very excited about being a COA for ONE this year and is looking forward to lending a hand wherever necessary.
