It goes thus;
Today I’m speaking at the United Nations in New York where I’m going to call for universal internet access to be made a global priority.
I’m also kicking off a global call to action in partnership with the ONE campaign supported by Action/2015, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, Save the Children, TED, the United Nations Foundation, Ushahidi, Bono, Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Shakira, George Takei, Charlize Theron, Jimmy Wales and many others. We have a simple message. Internet access is essential for achieving humanity’s Global Goals.
By giving people access to the tools, knowledge and opportunities of the internet, we can give a voice to the voiceless and power to the powerless. We also know that the internet is a vital enabler of jobs, growth and opportunity. And research tells us that for every 10 people connected to the internet, about 1 is lifted out of poverty. 
If we connect the more than 4 billion people not yet online, we have a historic opportunity to lift the entire world in the coming decades. Those without internet access cannot share their voices online. But you can. Share your support at www.one.org/connecttheworld
