John, what does
activism mean to you?

Bishop Desmond Tutu said: "there comes a point where we need to stop just
pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why
they're falling in."

That is activism.

This summer, our Global Activists will be taking their campaigning to the
streets. Across European cities, they’ll meet with decision-makers, speak
about our campaigns at festivals, and help build a strong [ [link removed] ]'GenerAction'
community of people demanding action to rewrite our future.

No matter where you live, we need your voice to join the global call for
change! Keep a lookout for ways you can take action and support activists
over the summer.

In the meantime, here is some of our favourite activism inspo to get you
fired up 🔥

Things we love

❤️ theSkimm started the award-winning [ [link removed] ]#ShowUsYourLeave campaign to
build a public conversation on the lack of paid family leave in the United
States. It began by asking people to share their own paid family leave
stories on social media.

💰Gidimt’en Checkpoint and Indigenous Climate Action are fighting against a
Coastal GasLink Pipeline that threatens indigenious land. The banks
funding the project are being targeted in their [ [link removed] ]No More Dirty Banks
campaign and New/Mode explains what's happened.

⚖️Australians have [ [link removed] ]just elected their first Labor Party Prime Minister
in more than a decade. What's especially exciting about this election is
the transformative effect on the country's political geography with the
rise of Independents and Greens shattering the main party duopoly. The
ChangeMaker Podcast has a two part episode that explains [ [link removed] ]how grassroots
campaigning is at the heart of it with local communities organising around
shared values rather than political affiliations. Definitely worth a
listen!

Things you can do

🧵[ [link removed] ]Get your craftivism on: people are putting their knitting needles to
good use and showing their support for Ukraine.

💥 Take your activism to the next level: check out [ [link removed] ]this powerful
collection of must-reads from the Sheila McKechnie Foundation on how
social change works and the power of organising.

⚡️Test your knowledge: The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria has [ [link removed] ]saved countless lives through their work fighting epidemics
in low income countries. But [ [link removed] ]how much do you know about HIV/AIDS?

People Changing the World

My name is Tonny Silas Dauda and I'm a 25 year old ONE Champion from
Nigeria.

Tell us about yourself...

While I was studying physics at the University of Jos, I joined a global
youth leadership movement called AIESEC. There, I worked with other young
people from Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, Denmark, and Kenya. I learned
about international development, advocacy, and how youth can influence
decisions at different levels. This eventually led me to become a ONE
Champion in 2020.

As a Champion, I'm part of a youth-led Africa-Europe Task Force working to
foster a stronger cross-continental partnership. For over a year, my team
and I have been meeting with important African and European political
leaders to urge them toinvest in stronger health care systems and global
access to COVID-19 vaccines. Recently, I felt the impact of our work when
EU leaders publicly pledged important funding to help with both of these
issues.

Outside of ONE, I manage a volunteer program at UNITE 2030, helping young
people develop career skills.

What work or project has had a big impact on you?

In 2018, I made a rather crazy decision that changed my life forever. I
had just graduated from university and I was not sure what I wanted to do
next with my life. I decided to live and work in the Republic of Benin for
one year through AIESEC,even though I couldn’t speak the language and
didn’t know anyone there.

That year was the most challenging time of my life, but also the most
fulfilling! Despite the language barrier, I was able to work well with my
team and ran campaigns to engage youth action on the Sustainable
Development Goals. It taught me a lot about the power of youth action.
Even when we're divided by cultural or national differences, if we are
united by a drive for impact, we can do anything!

What motivates you in and outside of your work?

Ending extreme poverty and preventable disease are the two most basic
challenges every human needs to overcome to live a dignified life. My
family has always been there to remind me that I am here to add value to
the world and that I can make my own little, yet significant, contribution
in making the world a better place.

Outside of work, I love to hang out with friends, travel, and I enjoy
listening good music over lunch or dinner. I'm currently reading Ego is
the enemy by Ryan Holiday and rewatching Friends all over again for the 1
millionth time!
