The Philadelphia Action Corps gets ready to lobby!

Over the past two weeks, the Oxfam Action Corps have put their petition deliveries into motion! 31 visits and  8,000 signatures later, the Action Corps made their voices heard during this crucial Lame Duck session that could have a huge impact on the United States budget and the allocations to foreign aid.
