I took a variety of photographs during the ONE Power Summit held June 4, 5, and 6 in Washington, D.C. at Gallaudet University. This was my first summit, and it was also the first summit held after COVID-19 lockdowns. The event was well organized and educational. I was also surprised but pleased to receive a ten year pin for volunteer service. Very nice!

ONE’s supporters hail from all walks of life and across the globe, coming together for simply one mission: to ensure that everyone, regardless of where they live, can live a life of dignity and opportunity.
But for those who are just getting familiar with ONE and the work that we do, there are many ways to become a ONE supporter, ranging from taking a simple action to becoming an official ONE activist.
