A HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by the Oxfam booth this past weekend and took action in support of Oxfam America's work to fight global poverty. We are proud to report that we surpassed our goal and reached a whopping
809 signatures on our petition asking Obama to 1) create a global development strategy in support of the Millennium Development Goals and, 2) work with Congress to revise and strengthen the outdated Foreign Assistance Act.
Of the hundreds of people who signed the petition, over half also opted to take local action by joining our Bay Area listserv. Thanks also to all of the AMAZING volunteers who joined us in our outreach efforts. As a volunteer initiative, it goes without saying,
we couldn't have done it without you!Here are just a few photos from this fantastic day (
