New York GROW Launch Event

Launch of Oxfam America's GROW Campaign!

Yesterday we launched Oxfam America's new GROW campaign! Oxfam’s GROW campaign aims to build a better food system: one that sustainably feeds a growing population (estimated to reach nine billion by 2050) and empowers poor people to earn a living, feed their families, and thrive.

Events took place around the world to launch the new campaign. In NYC we set up a Table for 9 Billion in Union Square. From 11:30 - 8:30 PM a number of people stopped by the table to learn about the new campaign and show their support. The Oxfam Action Corps NYC collected over 200 signatures! If you were unable to swing by our table yesterday, you can still show your support and sign online.

You can also learn more by reading the campaign report, brochure, or watch a recording of a DC panel of experts talking about the launch of the campaign.

The campaign was also actively posted online. Other #Tablefor9bn took place worldwide. View our pictures from the day and read our Twitter and Facebook posts.
