Global Food Crisis
Soaring global food prices are pushing millions of people into hunger and creating widespread civil unrest in countries around the world. Oxfam America Advocacy Fund is working overtime to address this crisis and ease the suffering of poor communities. Tell Congress to reform food aid and help millions of poor people around the world |

Climate Change
From floods in Bangladesh to droughts in Kenya, glacier melts in Peru to hurricanes in the Caribbean, poor countries are already suffering from the effects of climate change. Oxfam America is undertaking a campaign to address the disproportionate impacts of global warming by creating equitable solutions to the crisis. We are asking that the US cut greenhouse gas emissions, and provide financial assistance so that the most vulnerable communities can adapt. Take action on climate change |

Aid Reform
US foreign aid has saved millions of lives and helped millions more overcome poverty. Yet foreign aid is still under-performing and often fails to reach the people who need it most. Oxfam America is seeking reform of US foreign aid to make it more efficient, more modern, and more focused on ending global poverty. Take action on aid reform |

Right to Know, Right to Decide
Too often, poor communities have no say in the extraction of resources from their land, and receive little information about these projects. Oxfam America is undertaking a new campaign calling on oil, gas, and mining companies to respect the right of communities to participate meaningfully in decision-making and to disclose the money they pay to foreign governments. This information is crucial to ensuring that governments use these funds to reduce poverty and protect human rights. Take action on oil, gas, and mining |

Responding to Emergencies
When a humanitarian crisis strikes, Oxfam responds with short- and long-term aid. But in many cases, people also need additional support from world leaders and key decision-makers. Urge them to do the right thing. |
