on top of being a rock god, Bono is a moving leader. he’s speaking out aggressively and passionately on behalf of the D.A.T.A. movement and the One campaign. and it’s opened our eyes to an incredible challenge these oragnizations are posing to the world… to join them and fight the massive poverty and death that are devastating Africa…

“Everyday in Africa, 6,500 people die from AIDS, leaving behind a generation of orphans. Many of these lives could be saved if they had access to life-saving medicine and clean drinking water.”

the DATA and One sites offer ways to participate and “support action to overcome the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty”

DATA has set up a special toll-free number, so you can call our leaders in Washington and urge them to follow through on last year’s progress in fighting AIDS and poverty in Africa.”

Together as ONE, we can send President Bush to the G8 Summit carrying the compassion, justice and generosity of millions of Americans.”
