G20 Summit and Oxfam Action Corps

The G20 Summit is next week. Oxfam Action Corps has a great deal of information on our plate, and we're working to improve the the lives of people who urgently need food on theirs.

Here's what we know:
The G20 (world's 20 major economies) are gathering to discuss key issues on the global economy.

1. Economic stabilization and structural reforms as foundations for growth and employment;

2. Strengthening the financial system and fostering financial inclusion to promote economic growth;
3. Improving the international financial architecture in an interconnected world;
4. Enhancing food security and addressing commodity price volatility;
5. Promoting sustainable development, green growth, and the fight against climate change.

Here's the difference you can make with Oxfam Action Corps:

Tweet:
1. Tonight, 1 in 7 people will go to bed hungry. #G20 must act now to fix the broken food system.

2. Brazil lowered #hunger rates by one third from 2000 to 2007; #G20 countries can & should make ending    hunger a priority.
3. In 14 of 18 #G20 countries, inequality is on the rise.
4. More than half of the 1.3 billion people who live on less than $1.25/day are in #G20 countries.
5. #G20 must invest in farmers: agriculture generates 15% of exports and employs 70% of West African workers. #Sahel2012
