Join our Global Week of Action

New Action:

From Oxfam America:

With a new season upon us, Oxfam America invites you to celebrate by joining the Global Week of Action starting April 10th. People from Senegal to Honduras to Bangladesh—more than 35 countries in all—will be gathering and organizing local events focused on trade justice.

With just a few friends and a couple hours of your time, you can make a real difference and educate those around you about how trade could help lift people out of poverty if the rules are fair.

How can you get involved? Well, Oxfam has a number of ideas and tools to get started. For instance, you could host a movie night and educate your friends on the effects that unfair trade has on small family farmers. Or you could talk to your local supermarket about carrying more Fair Trade products.

What about organizing an Oxfam Hunger Banquet and teaching your fellow students or church members what it really means to be hungry? You also could team up with socially-responsible retailers to plan a Fair Trade sale, fashion show, or fundraiser. What's more you could call your congressperson to to talk about making trade fair for farmers.

To learn more go to www.oxfamamerica.org/weekofaction and get all the tools you need.

If you'd like we'll send you free posters, calendars and postcards with photos of Antonio Banderas, Alanis Morissette, Coldplay's Chris Martin and Youssou N'Dour for your particular event. Each celebrity donated their images to support our cause. Click here to order materials.

We look forward to the Week of Action and celebrating all your hard work.

Sincerely,

Brian Rawson
