Event Reminder:

From Oxfam America:

We are writing to you today about an exciting moment in the history where citizens from around the world will gather to take action for trade justice.

Next week, 10 million people in 70 countries will be participating in The Global Week of Action from April 10-16th. This promises to be the largest mobilization for trade justice ever and an unique opportunity for campaigners and people living in poverty to come together to insist that world leaders change the rules of trade and help to make poverty history.

In the United States alone, Oxfam America supporters have organized more than 250 events in 43 states, many of which are on our online events calendar.

And there is still time to get involved! You can participate in a local event, organize your own with just a few friends, or take personal action by just picking up the phone. It's fun, it's energizing and it's powerful!

Is your calendar booked next week? Then take personal action! Mark your calendar with reminders for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday April 11-13 and keep this email as a reference. On each day, simply go to http://www.oxfamamerica.org/weekofaction and take these easy steps:

Monday, April 11: Fairness for Farmers Call-In
Help us kick off the week with a phone call to your Senators asking for fairness for farmers in US and the developing world. Contact your Senators by phone, and urge support for the Rural America Preservation Act.

Tuesday, April 12: Supermarket Call-In
Check out Fair Trade! Call and email your local supermarkets to inform them about Fair Trade coffee and encourage them to carry and promote it. Also read more about our forthcoming report "The Coffee Crisis Continues."

Wednesday, April 13: CAFTA Call-In
Voice your opposition to the Central America Free Trade Agreement, and urge your Representative and Senators to do the same. Both the Senate and House are holding hearings on CAFTA on this very day.

Please be sure to let us know what actions you took, and any notable responses from your phone calls. Send a message to maketradefair@oxfamamerica.org.

Thanks to all of you, it's going to be an amazing week!

Sincerely,

Brian Rawson
