21 things only activists will understand- LOL
1. When you meet someone who gets just as worked up about an issue as you
2. When someone thinks they know all about an issue because they saw a Leo DiCaprio movie
3. When a friend suggests you go to McDonalds or Wal-mart
4. When you are about to go street campaigning
5. How you feel after 30 minutes of street campaigning
6. How you feel after 5 hours of street campaigning
7. When your boss/father-in-law/date says something you really disagree with… but you don’t want to argue
8. When people assume you are vegan or a non-drinker
9. When a well-meaning person tries to give you money instead of signing your petition
10. When you get a standard reply to that detailed and well-researched email you sent
11. The moment you get a lobby meeting agreed
12. Just before your lobby meeting
13. When your campaign target says they agree with you
14. When someone famous re-tweets you
15. When people tell you to chill out about the thing you’re campaigning on
16. When that drunk person at a party is determined to argue with you all night
17. When your friend starts a sentence with “I know you won’t approve of this, but…”
18. When Leonardo DiCaprio finally makes a film about YOUR issue
19. When your hashtag starts trending
20. When people tell you there’s no point, things will never change
21. When you win a campaign
Know the feeling? So do almost 6 million ONE members around the world.
Join us in the campaign to end extreme poverty and together we’ll make that last gif happen. A LOT.
