After 20 years, Irish singer Bono has finally found what he’s looking for: a new generation of advocates to take up the cause.
The lead singer of rock band U2 and global activist announced Tuesday that at the end of this year he will step down from the board of ONE Campaign, the anti-poverty advocacy campaign he co-founded almost two decades ago.
“I am humbled to recognize that ONE's most powerful lobbyists are now the young activists in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Africa holding power to account every day and outside of the spotlight, not Irish rock stars,” Bono said in a statement shared with Devex.
