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.ONE was present in Milan and featured in U2's 360 tour, which kicked off Tuesday... more

The Ugandan community has had the LONGEST RUNNING WAR in Africa and is STILL not resovled. Three filmmakers, from Southern California decided to embark on a trip to Africa to create a documentary of the war. When they arrived, they realized the war was much bigger then they expected. It dealt with child soldiers being kidnapped, becoming killers and being killed themselves because of ONE MAN and ONE MAN ONLY... Joseph Kony, the leader of a rebel army known as The Lord's Resistance Army or The LRA. These three filmmakers: Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, decided to take matters into their own hands and formed a non-profit organization called Invisible Children. These three young hopefules have created over three films, in hopes of catching people's attention and create awarness on what's going on in Uganda today. With the help of people like you and me, IC has successfully caught the attention of government officials worldwide and media icons including Oprah. Please watch the informative video/documentary that I have created above, with an overview on what Invisible Children entails, including rallys IC has conducted, as well as a brief history on the war in Uganda. All information and pictures are courtesy of InvisibleChildren.com. I as well am an aspiring journalist, broadcaster and producer. Thanks for watching! :)The Ugandan community has had the LONGEST RUNNING WAR in Africa and is STILL not... more

Over the last year, governments and corporations have been pushing to crack down on Internet freedoms. But all is not lost. A cyber freedom movement has been growing over the last two and a half decades, and in late June, thousands of activists met at the 10th International Forum on Free Software (FISL) in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
“This is important today, because the Internet, our civil rights, have never been under such an attack as today. Right now they are looking to regulate the Internet,” said Marcelo Blanco, founder and organizer of the FISL, which they say is now the largest technology and information event in Latin America.Over the last year, governments and corporations have been pushing to crack down on... more

LOS ANGELES - Iranians have been holding a protest vigil since the Iran election in front of the federal building at Westwood and Veteran Avenues in West Los Angeles. On Sunday, June 28, 2009, about 5,000 of them took to the streets here in the march depicted in this film. Many would not be interviewed on camera, probably in fear of reprisals against their families in Iran by the Iranian government, as some told us. Of those who spoke on camera, they explained how their presence was only to show solidarity with those in Iran. They feel frustrated that they cannot do something more to stop the Iranian government. Some want the U.S. and the U.N. to impose sanctions on Iran, specifically to companies like Nokia that do business with the Iranian government in providing surveillance technology used wrongfully against the Iranian people, to deny them basic freedoms.
However, sanctions on Iran from the U.S. in the past have hurt the Iranian people as much, if not more than it hurt the Iranian government. Is it possible for the U.S. or the U.N. to have the acuity to distinguish between the Iranian people and the Iranian government; to impose selective and targeted sanctions on companies like Nokia, or at least the offending technologies they sell (http://bit.ly/dsTBG)? If so they would then target the Iranian government's anti-democratic behavior without hurting the Iranian people, unlike what the U.S. did to Iraq after the Gulf War in obtuse sanctions that effectively broke down their infrastructure, and took away basic human needs like water and electricity from all the Iraqi people.
One good thing that these marches do is to show the world and the Iranian government the faces of Iranians, which makes it impossible for the U.S. and other governments, to dehumanize the Iranian people in order to wage war, as the U.S. has done in Iraq and Afghanistan (See: Iran Was an Easier Enemy Before We Saw Their Faces: http://tinyurl.com/kjskql). Iraq War veterans have testified to this fact in the Winter Soldier testimonies on U.S. military racism (http://ivaw.org/wintersoldier), citing how their superiors demean Iraqis, and now Afghans, by routinely referring to them as "hodgie", a slag term for Hajji.
It is a well known fact among scholars (like Dr. Haig Bosmajian, University of Washington in Seattle http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=1442) that the U.S. military has, as a matter of policy, demeaned the people of entire countries that we have gone to war with, ever since the Korean War when they referred to Koreans as "gooks", which carried over to the Vietnam War. It is no stretch to call our military racist. But this was also found during WWII when they called the Germans "krauts". The Germans are especially infamous for their pro-war dehumanization campaign of the Jewish people in calling them "rats". The purpose of this as government policy is to make it easier for people and troops to accept war, especially the killing and genocide of innocent people.
