Fight global hunger and support women farmers - Join the Oxfam Action Corps in your city!

Oxfam America, an international relief and development organization, invites you to join an exciting grassroots effort to stand up to poverty, hunger, and injustice around the world – starting right from Madison. The Oxfam Action Corps is looking for committed people who want to join today! You will meet great people and work together to change laws that can save lives, defend the rights of women and farmers, and protect communities from climate change. You will gain leadership skills, have fun, and change the world! Sign up by February 14 to join the Oxfam Action Corps: www.oxfamactioncorps.org The Oxfam Action Corps is a group of dedicated volunteers in more than a dozen US cities. We raise awareness by holding events and reaching out to people in our neighborhoods, town events, rock concerts – and, most importantly, in the halls of Congress. Anybody can join the local effort! All levels of experience are welcome. You can also apply for Oxfam’s unique four-day leadership training in Washington D.C. This year, we will mobilize a political response to the urgent problem of global hunger. The women and men in poor countries who struggle to grow enough food to feed their families are facing competition for land and water, rising prices, and climate change. We will call for laws that support women and farmers, sustainable practices, and resilience to climate change, and ensure a better future for people in the poorest regions of the world.
