The last year has been an interesting one, to say the least. With the first promises of COVID-19 vaccines to the rise of new variants like Delta and Omicron, 2021 has seen a lot of ups and downs.
As we begin to wind down and enter the holiday season, we want to recap the year for you. But we know you’re all sick of hearing pandemic news and would rather just hear holiday songs.
So here’s 2021 re-told through some holiday...

Two decades ago, HIV/AIDS infections were doubling each year and almost 4,000 people died daily from the virus.
Since then, the global response has come a long way and serves as a model of how to address a public health crisis. AIDS-related deaths have dropped by more than half since their peak in the early 2000s. And now, 27.5 million people have access to life-saving treatments.
But COVID-19 has severely impacted a lot of that progress, as the world battles twin...
Earlier this year, we celebrated Malala Day and Mandela Day: two incredible changemakers who have dedicated their lives to fighting injustice. As part of the celebrations, we composed a list of 10 well-known activists who lead, educate, and inspire us to change the world and asked ONE supporters to vote for their favorite.
Over 7,000 supporters from across the globe cast their vote. Here are the top three voted activists by ONE supporters in the US:
In first place with 33%...
ONE’s supporters hail from all walks of life and across the globe, coming together for simply one mission: to ensure that everyone, regardless of where they live, can live a life of dignity and opportunity.
But for those who are just getting familiar with ONE and the work that we do, there are many ways to become a ONE supporter, ranging from taking a simple action to becoming an official ONE activist.
Here’s a closer look.

The world is over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’ve seen some progress in global coordination to end it, including the Biden administration’s deal with Pfizer-BioNTech to purchase 500 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to share globally. But we need more global action to end the pandemic for everyone, everywhere.
The fastest way to do so and beat the virus is to ensure that everyone, regardless of where they live, has access to vaccines. Otherwise, the world is at...
Having safe and effective vaccines to fight COVID-19 within a year of the first reported cases is a historic scientific achievement. But as our animated series “Pandemica” has illustrated, unless the world prioritizes fair and equal vaccine distribution, we’re at risk of prolonging the pandemic. What happens in the next six weeks will determine the trajectory of this pandemic for the next six months. This is a critical point in the pandemic, as world leaders can either turn the...
With safe and effective vaccines to fight the COVID-19 virus, the question of “if” the pandemic will end has shifted to “when.” But as we’ve seen in our new animated series “Pandemica,” the pandemic won’t simply end with a vaccine, but when everyone, everywhere has access to it. If the virus remains unchecked anywhere in the world, it will continue to breach borders, mutate, and severely impact the global economy.
So how well are we doing in making sure everyone...
“Pandemica” is ONE’s newest animated content series about a world where the pandemic never ends — it’s a never-ending pandemic purgatory. From showcasing how vaccine hoarding will impact populations to what will happen if the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate, Pandemica sheds light on the reality that billions of people are experiencing right now as one-third of the world’s countries have yet to receive a single dose of COVID-19 vaccines, and what the entire world could experience if vaccine...
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...
Welcome to Pandemica. It’s a never-ending pandemic purgatory, where COVID-19 never goes away, but continues to mutate and cross borders. It’s the most deadly place on earth, where twice as many people die, the global economy loses an additional US$9.2 trillion, and life as we once knew it does not return for anyone. Sound familiar?
We’re all in Pandemica. To escape, we need to act now. Having safe and effective vaccines within a year of the first reported COVID-19 cases...
