One campaign -- Posted by Raleighgirl on 05-31-05 15:38
Tigerlilly posted a bunch of articles about world hunger. I
responded
that we can do something about it by supporting the One Campaign.
Then someone asked for the explanation. Here it is (from the
website):
What is The ONE Campaign?
ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally Americans - ONE by
ONE - to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty.
The ONE Campaign is engaging Americans through a diverse
coalition of faith-based and anti-poverty organizers to show the
steps people can take, ONE by ONE, to fight global AIDS and
poverty.
Why is The ONE Campaign needed?
Right now, the US government is making decisions about how much
money to spend on humanitarian assistance next year and the UK is
poised to lead the world's wealthiest nations at the G8 summit
next July. By joining the ONE campaign, we will show our leaders
that we want to do more to respond to the emergency of AIDS and
extreme poverty.
Sign up to add your voice to support The ONE Campaign
Declaration. You will join the growing number of Americans who
are getting involved online and in communities across the country
to fight global AIDS and poverty through The ONE Campaign. Here
is the declaration:
THE ONE DECLARATION
"WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others
help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in
a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest
people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty. WE
RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt
relief, fighting corruption and directing an additional one
percent of the U.S. budget toward meeting basic needs -
education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans -
would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in
the poorest countries. WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one
voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for
all."
That's about all I know. Peruse the website for more info:

Why don't we do something about world diabetes, seems
like it would be more on topic for this group.
