| Jasmine jumping for change. |
Do you believe poverty is wrong and needs to change? Then join us at
www.oxfamamerica.org/takeaction/volunteers
to Right the Wrong of Poverty.
In the fall of 2012, at the local farmers market, I overheard Jasmine talking about a dinner. Without hesitation, my new found friend and I cooked up wonderful recipes for change. We worked to save lives by changing laws and policies all over the world.
Oxfam believes poverty is solvable. Poverty's roots are injustice, discrimination, and unequal gender power relations. Eliminate injustice and poverty ends.
Oxfam petitions law makers and giant food companies (Mars, Nestle, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kellogg, General Mills...) to change for greener and fairer policies. We deliver petitions letting them know what constituents and consumers feel is important.
Fisherman, farmers and others know their trades, they need our help to be heard. When we join voices we speak louder. We could use your voice at Oxfam Action Corps!
Apply now, the deadline is February 1st !!!

` Join us for this years International Woman's day celebration. This years theme make it happen will focus on the achievements of woman while calling for equality. We are planning on having fun and creating an atmosphere of empowerment and equality. Purple the color of justice and dignity, values associated with woman's equality. In 1908 woman the Woman's Social and Political Union in Great Britain adopted the color scheme of purple, white, and green to symbolize the plight of suffragettes. Today we honor woman everywhere with the color Purple.
