This Friday, April 5, will mark 1000 days until we reach the end of the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). Our friends at the UN Foundation have launched Momentum1000, a new worldwide rally on April 5-6 to raise awareness and spark action around the MDGs. This Friday, the UN Foundation is hosting a 1000-minute digital event,

Imagine an all-day event where great minds and organizations come together for a rapid-fire discussion of how technology and social good can work together.

The annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival started March 8, covering all the new topics and releases in film, music and interactive. This week-long event is big on hype, crowds, food, drinks and celebrities. The do-gooder events get tucked in here and there – and when you find them, they are usually fascinating and informative.

UPDATE: 12/29/12 5:58pm ET. The amendment to cut foreign assistance was defeated in the Senate 3-91. Thank you to everyone who made calls to their senators to ask them to protect these lifesaving programs. Last week, while most Americans like you were busy traveling and enjoying the start to the holidays, a bad idea took

Action: 68. Time: 20-30 min. Difficulty: Medium-Challenging. You will need a YouTube account, a decent camera, and a few minutes to prep. Last week, we commemorated World AIDS Day with a new global AIDS funding report and a new video series, “It Starts With Me”, an emotional group of testimonials from AIDS activists, ONE members

For the past few weeks, ONE has been on a sweet potato kick. We’ve asked you to submit delicious sweet potato recipes to our Tumblr blog, post sweet potato pics onto Instagram using the hashtag #recipe4change, and we’ve featured our little sweet potato character all over our website and our “nutrition petition” — a petition

On Tuesday, October 16th, ONE members will send a message to US leaders to make commitments to reduce chronic malnutrition for 25 million children. We’re encouraging ONE members, staff, volunteers… everyone to send a message at 12 PM ET/9 AM PT to tell leaders to put nutrition on the agenda. And, if you’re at one

Action: 52. Time: 2 minutes. Level of difficulty: Easy. I love Twitter for so many reasons: it’s my top source for news links, a connection to friends and colleagues, a way to measure trends, and a way to take action with causes that I support. But I’ve always wondered when does something so fleeting as

I doubt anyone takes their cell phone for granted in this world, especially since 5.6 billion of us have one. But, most people probably don’t know the real advantages of having a cell phone. More than just calling or texting friends or taking photos, a cell phone can be a lifesaver and can actually help

We’ve had an amazing response to our “Tweet at the G8″ action. Thousands of tweets were submitted to the ONE Street Tweeter on Twitter and through our online form. We culled through a ton of messages and painted several of them along routes to Camp David — where this weekend’s G8 meetings are being held

There’s nothing more frustrating than reading an article that disparages online advocacy as “slacktivism” or “clicktivism.” Both terms derogatorily define online petitions, tweets and web messages as nothing more than feel-good measures that purport to support some kind of issue or social cause but really have little practical effect. The ”slacker-activists as armchair do-gooders who

We have a month to get loud and make a difference. One month. In four weeks time, the G8 leaders will meet Camp David in the United States to discuss a variety of issues — agriculture in the developing world being one of them. Our best chance to address hunger and poverty will be at
