ONE Campaign

ONE is 2.4 million people, Republicans and Democrats, and 150 of the most respected humanitarian organizations in the world, coming together to create the political will to fight global disease and extreme poverty. ONE believes that allocating more of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the world's poorest countries.

ONE Vote '08 is an unprecedented, non-partisan new initiative to make global health and extreme poverty foreign policy priorities in the 2008 presidential election. Learn more at ONEvote08.org

“The ONE Campaign can unite people together from different backgrounds, different beliefs, different views on life, because these are not only religious issues – they’re human issues. As Americans, we have to care about the 3 billion people who live on under 2 dollars a day and the 1 billion people who live on less than a dollar a day. AIDS and poverty will never be solved by one group alone, it takes government, it takes churches, and it takes business – and each of them has a role.”
-- RICK WARREN, Pastor and Author of “The Purpose Driven Life”

“It is time for each of us to be ONE. I enthusiastically support the ONE Campaign because working together, we can be the generation that stands up and says no more shall children in God's world die from hunger; no more will people’s lives be shortened by the AIDS pandemic; No more!”
-- DAVID BECKMANN, President of Bread for the World

“Each day, more than 8,000 people die of AIDS and another 14,000 are infected. AIDS has created more than 14 million orphans worldwide. Now is the time for all of us to join together as one and call on Congress and the administration to do more to turn the tide on AIDS and global poverty. That's why World Vision is pleased to support the Better Safer World and the ONE campaign —we all need to do more to make a ‘better, more secure world.’”
--RICHARD STEARNS, President of World Vision
