I found this on Andrew Henck’s blog (thanks, dude!) and thought it deserves the furthest, widest distribution possible. www.One.org (new window). Check it out. I have some reservations, but in the end I’d rather join an actual effort to change things than hem and haw about the methods. And it seems like these folks know what they’re talking about and are advocating for some real change. As a Christian, I know it’s my duty to care. As an American, I know it’s my duty to participate.

I saw the one.org site recently. I’ve been sporting the MakePovertyHistory white band for a few months, and it’s cool to see that there are also well-backed campaigns in the US. I have reservations as well, but my feeling is just like yours. I would rather support less-than-optimal change (unless it’s actually damaging) than no change at all.

Andrew, Thanks for sharing this link. I actually checked out the website yesterday after visiting Andrew Henck’s blog. I was going to put it up on ours, but I thought I’d wait a day. You beat me to it! Shinn! 🙂 Parallel despite the miles, Your Wife
