Welcome!

Welcome to the New Mexico Oxfam America Action Corps weblog! Here you will find the most up-to-date news and information regarding current efforts to address climate change, as well as Oxfam America's events and calls to action here in New Mexico.

Oxfam America is raising awareness about the impact climate change has on the underprivileged. Climate change exacerbates current inequalities and poses a significant threat to stability and security throughtout the world. Oxfam America is currently mobilizing groups across the country to promote positive legislation addressing climate change immediately. Currently, the House of Representatives is considering the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (the "ACES Act" or sometimes called "Waxman-Markey" for shorthand), and we are monitoring the developments.

We hope this web log provides you with the information you need to be fully informed. Further, we hope the news, stories and comments on this site will inspire you to make a difference.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to post them and they will be addressed as soon as possible. Further, you are always welcome to email the local Action Corps Organizers, Amy Walkowiak and Mark Pustay, at nmoxfamactioncorps@gmail.com.

Again, welcome!
