Workshop Format:

15-30min – Introduction
• Myself
• Bread for the World- Basic Overview (Who, What, When, Where, and Why)
• Faith and Advocacy, particularly when discussing the issue of poverty (maybe a group
exercise and/or group discussion where we can look at different texts- at this point mostly biblical,
but that can probably change and denominational quotes on social justice, particularly those working with the hungry and the poor)
• Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) Jeopardy

30min- 45 min presentation- the ONE Campaign

• Start off with the ONE Campaign PSA
• the ONE Campaign is about-
(Who, What, Where, When, and Why)
• What the ONE Campaign is not about-
Collecting money, celebrity only, etc.
• Issues- 1% addition to the federal budget, MDG’s, trade, HIV/AIDS
the Web Advocacy Exercise
• How does Bread for the World’s 2007 focus, the Farm Bill, connect to the ONE Campaign?
• Questions

20 min- Next Steps

• I now know all of this, now what? 1st Sign the Declaration
• Next Steps - Describe the many activities that they can do as ONE Volunteers, particularly in faith based settings (ONE Local Groups)
• Final Q & A session
• Any Last Minute stuff (like where is the Bread for the World table in the exhibit hall) and Closing (Commitment Circle Activity )

The following are the answers to the questions listed on the proposal form starting with question #3:

3. As of right now, it is just me; tentatively, maybe another Bread for the World Faith Outreach Organizer from another region or a local ONE Volunteer who has been involved in some ONE Campaign activities/events within various faith communities. I will pass their names along as soon as I find out.
4. Youth- Yes- myself (Krystal Grant) age - 24
5. Artist and Cultural worker- not yet; will continue to search
6. Something to write on: Chart Paper/markers, dry erase board/markers, or a chalkboard with some chalk. A television with a DVD player, or a large screen that is capable of being connected to a laptop computer to show something from a DVD, etc. Pens or Pencils
7. The workshop will consist of the following format - presentation, small group discussion, and group activities.
8. Floor plan/room-set up- I am flexible. Ideally would like a space that is comfortable, not too large, and has chairs (no desks/tables) in it.

a. The main idea I would like participants to take away from this workshop is that the faith community is an appropriate and powerful setting where advocacy can take place. The second idea would be that the ONE Campaign is an easy way for a person to get involved in advocacy and the more people that contribute their voices to the campaign, the more of an impact the campaign will make on the public policies that deal with global poverty, HIV/AIDS, debt relief, trade ,etc.
b. My workshop connects to the USSF themes of community, work, world, spirit, and power. The ONE Campaign encourages people within our local and national communities to come together to work for change within our public policies dealing with world issues, such as global poverty and HIV/AIDS. Through the power of people’s voices within grassroots movements such as the ONE Campaign/the Global Call Against Poverty, the spirit of peace and reconciliation will influence the public policies and international law that governs and shapes our world.
c. The participants will be engaged in this workshop through small group discussion and several group activities (MDG Jeopardy, Web of Advocacy Activity, and Commitment Circle Activity).
d. Ideally between 30-50 people. Realistically, 10-20 individuals.
e. English
f. Yes, if given an early notice, I will work with the national office to solve the situation.
g. Regarding concrete alternatives-??
h. One of the biggest challenges/adversaries the ONE Campaign/Bread for the World faces is the wide underlying opinion that the faith community is not suppose to be involved in advocacy ( i.e. politics). Many people within the faith community shut down immediately when there is any discussion concerning faith and politics. Another challenge the ONE Campaign and Bread for the World faces is the indifference many people have concerning grassroots movements (for example, can we really make a difference with our voice question).
i. Strategies to achieve these alternatives- BFW is a non-partisan organization, so we only advocate for legislation that has bi-partisan support. Therefore, we are able to build a larger foundation of people from all political sides. Churches are allowed to advocate on issues of hunger, poverty, etc. but they are not allowed to endorse a particular political party/candidate. Also, the Bible provides us with "alternatives" to our contemporary understanding of an individualistic faith expression. Our faith influences all of our lives, not just our personal lives. Our citizenship is a gift from God; therefore we are called to be good stewards of this gift. Advocacy on behalf of poor and hungry people is a good stewardship of our resource as citizens.
j. Yes, I will provide handouts in English for attendees.
