Faith In The Public Square: Senator James Lankford - a podcast by OKC FIRST
from 2022-03-25T05:00
The Unafraid podcast welcomes US Senator James Lankford! Over the years and on behalf of the ONE Campaign and our friends in Zambia, throughout sub-Saharan Africa, we’ve worked with Senator Lankford to secure resources for those who are vulnerable to AIDS, TB, Malaria and now COVID. We ask the Senator to talk about his faith and how that faith emerges on Capitol Hill. Hope you enjoy this meaningful conversation!
"ONE is a global movement campaigning to end extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030, so that everyone, everywhere can lead a life of dignity and opportunity.
We believe the fight against poverty isn’t about charity, but about justice and equality.
Whether lobbying political leaders in world capitals or running cutting-edge grassroots campaigns, ONE pressures governments to do more to fight extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa, and empowers citizens to hold their governments to account.
ONE’s supporters are crucial to this work. They come from every walk of life and from across the political spectrum. They’re artists and activists, faith and business leaders, students and scientists. They take action day in, day out — organising, mobilising, educating, and advocating so that people will have the chance not just to survive, but to thrive.
ONE teams in Abuja, Berlin, Brussels, Dakar, Johannesburg, London, New York, Ottawa, Paris and Washington DC, educate and lobby governments to shape policy solutions that save and improve millions of lives — and which every year are under threat from cuts and other priorities.
Co-founded by Bono and other activists, ONE is strictly nonpartisan. ONE is not a grant-making organisation and does not solicit funding from the public or receive government funds. ONE is funded almost entirely by foundations, individual philanthropists and corporate partners."
