Don’t drop the pressure now! Come out to the ‘Today’ show
The U.N. Summit on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is coming up next week, and as you can imagine, our office is buzzing with excitement. We’ve been busy planning and preparing for the big event for what feels like forever — and now that the moment is finally here, we’re pumped to unveil some of the ONE member activities surrounding the Summit.
Beginning this Wednesday, members will be gathering at the “Today” set in New York City to show Meredith Viera, Matt Lauer and “Today’s” 4.9 million viewers that ONE cares about extreme poverty, preventable disease and most importantly, achieving those MDGs. Talk about maximum visibility!
We’ll be there every morning, bright and early at 6:30 AM, for a week, so there’s no excuses why our New York City ONE volunteers shouldn’t go. Plus, we hear that Maroon 5 will be playing a live performance some time during the week.
Now, think of a morning that you’re free and RSVP!
If you don’t live in the area, you’re excused. But you better promise to watch us on TV! We’ll be waving our ONE signs in our ONE shirts and making some serious noise.
Remember — by organizing and working together as one, we can use this moment to bring attention to ending extreme poverty in our lifetime. But we can’t do it without your help.
