Global Activists in action

In 2022, ONE set an ambitious goal: supporting the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria to save 20 million lives between 2023 and 2025. Our Global Activists rallied behind this cause, undertaking various activities.

In Canada, Activists actively participated in festivals, actions, and stunts to raise awareness. Notably, they donned mosquito costumes to draw attention to the cause. Similarly, Activists in France participated in actions asking President Macron to pledge a 30% increase. In Brussels, Activists stormed the European Parliament, delivering messages to over 200 MEPs.

Activists in the Netherlands joined a stunt, engaged with parliamentarians and mobilized the public. In the United States, activists delivered handwritten letters to congressional offices nationwide and staged a striking stunt highlighting the mosquito as the world’s deadliest animal.

In Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Kenya, and Ethiopia, activists took part in digital actions and spoke at events, applying crucial pressure that contributed to the overall outcome. UK activists delivered a booklet showcasing the Global Fund, featuring personalized messages from constituents to all 650 MPs.

The outcome? The Activists’ efforts, alongside others, helped raise an impressive $15.7 billion to save lives affected by AIDS, TB, and Malaria in the next three years.
