What's Happening: Join the Columbus Oxfam Action Corps in a discussion with guest speaker Jennifer Williams, a malaria specialist and Peace Corps volunteer. She will talk about her experiences and the necessity to eradicate global poverty. Join us as we come together to examine how these issues correlate through an eye-opening event, all the while joining together to STAND UP and fight poverty.
Along with millions of people worldwide, we will take part in the annual Stand Up Against Poverty events, events that will call upon US and world leaders to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals. These goals, agreed on by world leaders in 2000, are a roadmap towards ending extreme poverty and hunger by 2015.
But to make them a reality we need your help!
On the eve of the global MDG Summit at the UN, Oxfam supporters will join the global action, we will assemble, pledge our commitment to tackling poverty, and stand in unison, calling on US and world leaders to create a strong development strategy to reduce global poverty.
Last year millions of people took part in Stand Up events worldwide. This year, we want to make sure you are counted.
Free CD Give-away to everyone that attends!
Event Partners: ONE, CARE, UNA-USA, and Church World Service
