Allow us to Introduce Ourselves
Welcome to the Indianapolis Oxfam Action Corps blog! We're a recently formed volunteer group dedicated to taking on the fight against global poverty here in Indianapolis, Indiana. Oxfam Action Corps is a project of Oxfam America, a non-governmental international relief and development organization that creates lasting solutions to poverty. The Indianapolis Oxfam Action Corps is a non-partisan, grassroots volunteer initiative in key cities nationwide to inform, inspire, and mobilize public support for policies to create solutions to hunger, poverty, and social injustice.
Current Campaign
This year we are focused on mobilizing awareness and action regarding the impact of climate change on the poor, with a particular interest in women in rural areas who are closely tied to food production. They are among the most vulnerable, and at the nexus of climate change and food insecurity.
Our Role
We're educating our fellow hoosiers in Indianapolis and around the state on the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities. We're reaching out at community festivals, concerts, homes, libraries, and special venues. We’re also encouraging people to contact their member of congress on this issue.
