ONE on G20 leaders: ‘Break the cycle of famine’


G20 leaders are meeting later this week in Cannes and ONE teamed up with the City of Paris to send them a message as the square of the Paris Town Hall was plunged in complete darkness while ONE’s “F-Famine” and “A future without famine” videos were projected onto the wall of the Town Hall.

From the article published on ONE’s Blog:

On the eve of the G20 summit in Cannes, hundreds of members of ONE, along with a few celebrities including Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Friedreric Diefenthal, gathered on the steps of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris to recall on world leaders that if the drought is an act of nature, famine is man-made. With the exceptional support of the City of Paris, the latest clips of ONE, called “F-Word: Famine is the real obscenity” and “A future without famine” were projected onto the walls of City Hall, first in their French version and the English version. The names of over 400,000 ONE members who have signed the petition calling on G20 leaders to break the cycle of famine were also projected on the building in the center of Paris. This exceptional mobilization was living proof of all ONE Members’ voices calling our leaders to make sure people are hungry no more.

ONE members add: ‘At ONE, we hope that the voice of all our members will be heard and strong commitments will be taken and actions implemented by the G20 leaders.’ Let’s hope this time they will be heard!
