Bringing The ONE Campaign to the Faith Community
When I think about all of the issues that we have been talking about, what sticks out in my mind is that the ONE Campaign is non-partisan. Indeed, Bono talks about being able to reach across the aisle on many of these issues. I think it is vitally important to make this a major issue in America's faith communities.
In that interest, I think it would be awesome to have a big event to which we could invite KC's faith community. Here are some questions that are vital to putting on a good event:
1) When should we have it? We will need a fair amount of time so I was thinking maybe November?
2) Who should we invite? Should we have different nights for different denominations or invite all to a single night?
3) Where should it be held?
4) How do we get good attendence? This might be the most difficult question. We can use our personal contacts to get some people, but we will need some sort of method to get people with whom we don't have a personal connection.
5) Should we have a guest speaker? What kind of guest speaker should we have?
6) How long should the presentation be?
7) Any other questions or comments?
I would like to get a lot of imput before I begin to plan so please, be open and honest with your comments.

The more the better as far as I am concerned. I think that an event in which we discussed the situation and then presented pastors of local, international churches, to talk further would be highly beneficial. I think the partnership idea is particularly interesting.
I want to wait until I come back from Chicago, and the Fair Trade seminar, in early October, before planning the substance of the event. I would like to bring fair trade into the mix because it is such a non-controversial remedy that is really taking off. Let me know your thoughts on the timing.
Also, I don't know if you got a chance to discuss it, but I think that we should really look into posting some advertisments. At least in KU and UMKC school papers. The money isn't that much and I think we could get a decent return - especially at KU! More people would certainly help.
