ONE Vote `08 Launch Event -- Today in DC

On Monday, June 11, ONE is launching our biggest initiative to date. It’s an unprecedented, non-partisan campaign to make global health and extreme poverty foreign policy priorities in the 2008 presidential election.

We’re kicking off the campaign with a press conference on June 11th at 11:15am with Senators Tom Daschle and Bill Frist, Ashley Judd, and others, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 3rd and A St. SE, Washington, DC. Please RSVP to attend. (Doors open at 10:45am)

The next president of the United States will take office in a time of great hope: there are effective and affordable solutions that save lives. AIDS drugs can now cost as little as $1 a day. A $5 bed net can keep a child from dying from a mosquito bite. With the force of more than 2 million members from all 50 states and a coalition of more than 100 non-profit, religious and charitable groups, ONE Vote ‘08 will educate and mobilize voters to ensure that the next American president is committed to using “smart” power to end global poverty and keep America strong.

Also- If you’re a blogger, please use this special blogger RSVP page- We hope you’ll come and start talking about ONE Vote ‘08 on your blog. We have a daunting challenge ahead of us, and we need every ONE member on board to make it happen.
