"ONE by ONE, they step forward, a nurse, a teacher, a home maker, and lives are saved; but the problem is enormous. Every three seconds one person dies; another three seconds, one more. The situation is so desperate in parts of Africa, Asia, even America, that aid groups, just as they did for the tsunamies, reuniting as ONE. Acting, as ONE. We can beat extreme poverty, starvation, AIDS. But we your help. ONE more person, letter, voice will mean the difference between life and death for millions of people. Please join us by working together. Americans [and everybody] have an unprecedented opportunity. We can make history. We can start to MAKE POVERTY HISTORY. ONE by ONE by ONE."

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.

ONE participants include celebrities such as Bono, lead singer of U2 and DATA co-founder; Dikembe Mutombo, NBA All-Star and advocate for Africa; Michael W. Smith Grammy Award winning Musician; Agnes Nyamayarwo, Ugandan Nurse and Global AIDS activist, and representatives of national advocacy organisations such as Bread for the World, World Vision, GLobal Health Council, The Better Safer World Coalition, DATA and many others.
