The ONE Campaign (ONEBirmingham) is a group developed for people in the Birmingham, AL area who are interested in learning about and getting more involved with ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History. We are building a network of grassroots activists to rally Americans ONE by ONE to fight hunger, extreme poverty, and HIV/AIDS. The goal of the ONE Campaign is to get an additional ONE percent of the federal budget for poverty focused development assistance programs that would help meet the Millennium Development Goals to halve world poverty by 2015.

We currently focus on ONE tabling to promote awareness about poverty issues. Tables are set up at related "walks", concerts, coffee shops, on campuses, and at churches.

Watch this group for opportunites to table for ONE and for future organizational meetings and local events like our recent U2Charist: Stand Up Against Poverty!. http://www.breadblog.org/2007/10/u2charist-stand.html

Please feel free to join; there are no requirements, only the will to Make Poverty History!

We're in the third quarter and it's a game we can't lose...
