Campaigning

From U2pedia

The band U2, especially its lead singer, Bono, has long been known for its campaigning for various causes.

Bono, lead singer of the Irish rock band, has been politically active since the 1980s and is an ardent supporter of Africa.

He co-founded DATA — Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa — to put pressure on wealthy countries to increase aid to poor nations. He also helped create the ONE campaign, which encourages the world’s wealthiest nations to contribute one percent of their federal budget to fight poverty around the world.
