Event Planning Meeting - Thursday August 26th!

Next month, the world will be joining together in calling out our global leaders on the promises they made via the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The 2010 review summit, hosted by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, will be held this September to examine the progress made on achieving these goals thus far. It's up to us to make our voices heard and demand that global leaders take the necessary steps towards ending poverty and inequality by 2015, as outlined in the MDG framework.

That's why Oxfam America is joining the masses on September 17-19, to Stand Up Against Poverty! Join the SF Bay Oxfam Action Corps at 6:30pm on Thursday, August 26 at Cafe International if you would like to participate in the planning of our local event. Ideas currently on the table include: a Hunger Banquet, a movie screening, a panel discussion, or a musical performance by local artists. Please send your ideas to oxfam.sf@gmail.com, or join us on the 26th and help us make this event one to remember!
