What an August! Non-stop Action for the Oxfam Action Corps!

This week may have been one of our most active months yet, with activities ranging from music fests to radio shows to farmers markets all over the country! Take a quick look at what’s been happening in the Oxfam Action Corps nation:

Getting petitions signed in Des Moines!

Tabling in Chicago

 Burlington, Albuquerque, Madison, Des Moines, Chicago, Philly, NYC, Austin, AND Seattle have all   been tabling at their local farmers markets. Woo what a mouthful! That’s over half the Action Corps cities!

NYC was rocking out at the Mint Green Music Festival and the Catalpa Festival! All this and a relaxing weekend retreat!

Chicago sparked some interest at the 2012 Leaky Con! (See post here)

Austin stayed up late for a Cinema East film screening of Girl Walk//All Day, then woke up early to help out at a local food bank!

Kansas City set what must be a record with their first meeting attendance of 11 new people! Wow!

Minneapolis at the Homegrown Experience

 Minneapolis grabbed some good eats at the Homegrown Experience, a local food festival!

Burlington spread the word with a segment on Goddard College’s radio show!

Boston and San Francisco started the World Food Day buzz by hosting a Grubwithus dinner and a local potluck! (For more, see post here)

Columbus and Philadelphia jammed with our musical partners Sidi Toure, Wilco and the Bare Naked Ladies! 

Boston volunteers at a Coldplay concert!

What’s the best part about all that's happening? It’s only a small portion of what goes into every day and happens every week with the Action Corps. Each of our 15 cities has been doing so much this month that it can’t nearly be squeezed into one blog post- and there’s only more to come in September!
