Concerned about poverty, climate change, and natural disasters on a global scale, but not sure how to make a difference at the local level? The Oxfam Action Corps provides a way to change the big picture, starting with your local community, and we're looking for committed people from your area to join today!

Gain leadership skills, have fun, change the world! - Training provided. Sign up by February 15. www.oxfamactioncorps.org

The Oxfam Action Corps is a group of dedicated volunteers in more than a dozen US cities who campaign with fellow Oxfam supporters in their neighborhoods at town events and concerts - and in the halls of Congress. Members gain leadership experience and learn about policy solutions to poverty and climate change - all while having fun and making a better world.

This year we will mobilize around one of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change and the impact of increased droughts, floods, and storms on the world's poorest communities. Oxfam Action Corps will help Oxfam enact solutions and call for an equitable response to the global crisis.

All levels of experience are welcome. To apply for the DC training or sign up with your local Oxfam Action Corps by February 15, go to: www.oxfamactioncorps.org

Here is what previous Oxfam Action Corps organizers said:
"As an activist, I had done fundraising. But the Oxfam Action Corps was about public education and raising awareness, and I found people really appreciated my work." Khadija, Mechanical Engineer, Pennsylvania.
"My work with the Oxfam Action Corps has helped immensely in building organizing and mobilization skills. It was a great way for me to start reaching out and getting to know the people in the community." Julie, Assistant Human Resources/Office Manager, Colorado.
Your support will be critical to promoting policies that could help lift millions of people out of poverty. You really can make a difference!
