At ONE we believe injustice in the world is a preventable, treatable condition, one that can be cured by dealing with an underlying malaise – something called apathy. ONE is an experiment in anti-apathy on a global scale. Ten years ago today we launched this experimental campaigning organization at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. We did this to underscore how ONE would be built on the shoulders of giant ideals, inspired as we are by the Jubilee passage from Leviticus inscribed on the Bell: that slaves must be freed, land redistributed and debts cancelled in a radical, once-every-generation gesture of divine justice. ONE also is entirely the product of those who inspire us, fired by the same ideals: Desmond Tutu, South African activist Zackie Achmat and Ugandan educator Noerine Kaleeba on AIDS; Bill and Melinda Gates on vaccines and child mortality; George Soros, Mo Ibrahim, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and John Githongo on open government and anti-corruption; and above all, Nelson Mandela and more recently Pope Francis on the fundamental fight against the injustice of extreme poverty.
