In the ONE Campaign
ONE is an effort to rally Americans -- ONE by ONE -- to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. The ONE Campaign is engaging Americans everywhere we gather -- in churches and synagogues, on the internet and college campuses, at community meetings and concerts.
The ONE Campaign brings together a diverse coalition of faith-based and antipoverty groups, including Bread for the World, celebrity spokespeople such as U2 lead singer Bono as well as corporate partnerships and local ONE Campaign organizers.

Bread for the World's One Spirit, One Will, Zero Poverty campaign continues in 2007. An updated handbook provides everything you need to involve your congregation in urging our nation's decision makers to keep their promise to the world's hungry and poor people. Included are biblical and theological background materials, an introduction to the Millennium Development Goals, and a step by step plan for an Offering of Letters to Congress. An accompanying video (on DVD or VHS) tells the story of how development aid helps communities lift themselves out of poverty.

Kate Dillon, a student at the University of St. Thomas organized the first Trade Justice Day at her school. In addition to making people aware of the importance of fair trade, she brought in local vendors who supply fair trade coffee and sugar. As a result of the interest raised, students persuaded the campus library to order a large supply of fair trade coffee for finals week. Plus, there is growing support for switching to fair trade vendors university-wide. Read more about the event and find out other ways to get your campus involved in the ONE Campaign.
