The U.S. Fund for UNICEF is a proud partner of the ONE Campaign, a grassroots network of more than two million Americans who care about issues of global poverty, hunger and disease, and efforts to fight these problems in the world's poorest countries.
Apparently, in the history of modern presidential debates, only two questions about global poverty have been asked to the candidates—a shockingly low figure. In 2008, voters need to know what Barack Obama and John McCain will do to end the most extreme suffering in our increasingly interconnected world.
UNICEF advocates can help make sure that changes by signing the One Campaign's petition to presidential debate moderator Jim Lehrer urging him to ask "Just ONE Question" on global poverty at the first presidential debate, September 26 in Oxford, Mississippi.
