On September 25th, the third anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ONE launched a post-election ONE Vote Italy campaign with a parliament “take over” in Rome with our amazing Youth Ambassadors (YAs).
The YAs met with 28 Deputies, Senators and Ministers from across the political spectrum, asking them to sign a ONE Vote pledge. Through this pledge, MPs committed to support the fight against extreme poverty. Vowing to take action during their mandate to ensure that Italian and European laws make it easier for the world’s poorest countries to empower their citizens to live free from poverty.

Our YAs also raised awareness of Italy’s vital role – as a member of the G7 and G20 and one of the biggest EU countries – to ensure that the world meets the 2030 deadline to achieve the SDGs and put an end to extreme poverty.
A successful campaign launch saw decision makers listening carefully to what young constituents had to say about their fight for a fairer world. YAs still have many other meetings lined up in their cities and will try to reach as many members of Parliament as possible!
They say all roads lead to Rome, but, after this, we have hope the road from Rome will lead to the eradication of extreme poverty!
