ONE’s global supporters play a key role in supporting ONE’s mission and sharing our messages with the world. From demanding action from world leaders to watching and sharing our newest animated series, “Pandemica,” our supporters work hard to support our mission each day. And for those who want to make their support a little more personal, we’ve got just the thing: Pandemica backgrounds.
About the backgrounds
The only way the COVID-19 pandemic will end is when everyone, everywhere has access to...

With the federal budget just around the corner, there is plenty of talk about Canada’s response to the pandemic and “building back better”.
How do we want to Government to guide our country through this troubled time?
Fortunately, there is an answer that protects Canadians, and restarts a global economic recovery.
The federal government’s primary job is to protect Canadians, which is why spending 99% of Canada’s emergency COVID response and recovery funding at home makes sense; we think the public will...
March 2021 marked the one-year anniversary of the World Health Organization officially declaring COVID-19 a pandemic and of pandemic-related restrictions for many places in the world. To mark the moment, we asked our supporters what ending COVID-19 looks like to them. Almost 3,000 responses later, we learned that our supporters had a lot to say, so we decided to share it with the world.
Here’s how it went.
Campaign origins
At the end of 2020, almost a full year since the first...
Something amazing has happened. The World Trade Organization just appointed its first-ever woman director general and its first-ever African as director general, all in the person of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. The new DG brings both energy and amazing experience to the table — former VP of the World Bank, former finance minister of Nigeria, past chair of the board of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and former board member of the ONE Campaign. CV highlights aside, Dr. Ngozi brings...
Are the actions of world leaders and pharmaceutical companies resulting in rich countries hoarding possible vaccines? Or are rich countries making sure that those who need a vaccine most (front-line workers and medical personnel), get a vaccine first?
These questions are what ONE’s Vaccine Access Test is all about. By asking these questions, we can make sure countries like Canada follow best practices and evidence-based medical research.
Fair global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines will end the pandemic faster for everyone, saving...
We need to invest 1% of our Covid-19 response to fight the global pandemic and #EndCovidEverywhere.
The world is interconnected. This virus quickly jumped borders, showing everyone that no one will be safe until everyone is safe. That is why we need to invest in fighting the pandemic both at home and all over the world.
Canadian development organizations and medical experts agreed that Canada should take 1% of our total Covid-19 spending and invest it in the global pandemic response....
We need to invest 1% of our Covid-19 response to fight the global pandemic and #EndCovidEverywhere
In May, the Prime Minister was clear. The world needed to collaborate and work together to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
“None of us is immune to the effects of COVID-19, and none of us can beat the virus alone. Only by protecting each other can we protect ourselves. Canada is ready to help lead a coordinated global response which will contribute to overcoming the pandemic.”...
Community masking is critical to stop the spread of COVID-19, and the science backs it up. Along with social distancing and hand washing, wearing a mask is one of the best prevention tools we have until there are viable vaccines or treatments.
That’s why we’re joining #WorldMaskWeek, a global movement to inspire more people to wear face coverings to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
We now know that any of us could be carrying and spreading the virus,...
Dr. Bonnie Henry is provincial health officer for British Columbia and clinical associate professor at University of British Columbia. We interviewed her as part of our #PassTheMic campaign. Here’s some of what she had to say.
One of the important things we need from a coordinated global response to COVID is to share information, to learn from each other, and appreciate that we are all in this together.
We need to take the best of what each of us has experienced,...
Aya Chebbi is an activist and AU Youth Envoy. We interviewed her as part of our #PassTheMic campaign. Here’s some of what she had to say.
