Hi John,

2024 is going to be a big one. Elections will take place across the country; February 29 will happen for the first time in 4 years; Much of the US will see a total solar eclipse; the Olympic flame will get lit in Paris and much more. 

So what’s in store?

What will we be focusing on in the next twelve months? Here’s a sneak peak:

• The right to good health - we firmly believe that where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live. This is why we will be kicking off a new campaign to ensure vital vaccines and immunizations get to the people who need them most. We will be exploring how ONE can support countries strengthening their own health systems, prevent future pandemics and report on the health fallout caused by climate events.
• Fighting climate change - we are backing a plan set out by African Leaders that would lead to a shift to renewable energy across Africa, and create millions of jobs. We’ll make sure governments keep their promises to help low-income countries respond to the devastating impacts of climate change. Promises that some have already started to play fast and loose with - see our new report.
• Fixing the world’s economic mess - the above is only possible if we can fix the world’s financial system. Over the last few years we’ve tried to show you just how broken it is: widening the gap between rich and poor and punishing low-income countries for funding health programs during COVID instead of paying debts. This year we will continue to fight for reforms, at the World Bank and in the wider economic system.

Who’s with us?

A bold agenda, right? Thankfully we are not alone. We are joined in these fights by thousands of ONE supporters, like you, who together took more than 500,000 actions last year (emails to Congress, tweets, petition signatures and more); a network of trained activists who drive change in their communities; a collection of partners sharing intel, amplifying work and pooling resources; and a newly formed supergroup of climate activists spread across Africa - dubbed the “Eco-champions” - find out more about them here.

What can you do?

The big question. And there are lots of great answers. Throughout the year, we'll share more information on each of these campaigns alongside plenty of impact-driving actions. But for now can we ask a big favor? And hopefully a simple one. As the fight is so big we need as many people as possible to join in, and your endorsement can go a long way.
