In the US, the Oxfam Action Corps will be holding a variety of events, from panels of community leaders to film screenings to potlucks. Check for events in your city by clicking the blog links on this page or by visiting the Oxfam America events calendar.

Oxfam supporters are taking action in our communities as a part of Oxfam’s global efforts this week, including a major delegation of Sisters on the Planet Ambassadors who will converge on Washington DC to advocate that the US Congress fix food aid.
You can also take action right from home! Send a beautiful e-card today to a woman in your life who has helped make your world a better place. And if you want to throw an event to give her the Oxfam International Women’s Day Award, click here to download our action guide for doing so (it’s the top link on the left of the page).
Worldwide, millions of women engage in small scale farming and are leaders in the fight against hunger, yet they face discrimination in access to resources like land and credit. Here at home, in each of our communities, women are among the innovators who are building a better food system that provides healthy and sustainable choices. We hope you will join us this month to celebrate women’s achievements here and worldwide in changing the way we grow, eat, and share food so that everyone has enough to eat, always.
