ONE was present in Milan and featured in U2's 360 tour, which kicked off Tuesday night in Barcelona and will be seen by over 3 million people this year. ONE will campaign at all tour stops in Europe this summer and throughout the North America shows, which begin in September.
Weldon Kennedy, campaigns manager of ONE, tells about the goals of the organization, its relationship to U2, and the need of the G8 heads of state to deliver on their promises of aid to Africa.
Bono during the show changed the script and spoke directly to Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy: "I only write songs, but you write history, and it's not too late for you to end your mandate in dignity!" and dedicated him the song 'One'. He was referring to Italy's aid being currently at only 3% of what has been originally promised
ONE is a grassroots campaign and advocacy organization backed by more than 2 million people who are committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. Cofounded by Bono and other campaigners, ONE is nonpartisan and works closely with African policy makers and activists.
