Make Poverty History

Tens of thousands of ONE members asked the candidates to go "On The Record" with their plans to combat extreme poverty and global disease. "On the Record" is a project of ONE Action and provides information to help evaluate the candidates on ONE's issues.

The On the Record site features each of the candidates' personal video responses to ONE members and short summaries of their plans on:

- Reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis
- Eradicating malaria
- Improving child and maternal health
- Achieving universal primary education
- Cutting in half the number of people without clean water or enough food

For months, ONE members have been asking the presidential candidates to pay attention to the plight of the voiceless millions, struggling to break the cycle of poverty. When it comes to getting these issues into the middle of the debate over America's role in the world, we haven't taken no for an answer.

For the first time ever, the entire presidential field is debating these issues and coming up with plans that recognize the challenge and the opportunity we have to build a better future for the world's most vulnerable people. The result is a huge victory for you, our members and for the millions of people around the world living in extreme poverty.
