OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND ATTEMPTS TO END POVERTY AND INJUSTICE THROUGH LOBBYING AND ADVOCACY.

CAMPAIGNING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE: OXFAM TOOK ACTION TO OPPOSE THE TRUMP TAX BILL, JOINING COALITION GROUPS OPPOSING THE BILL AND RELEASING A REPORT TITLED "RIGGED REFORM" EXAMINING TAX EVASION AND RIGGING PRACTICES OF US CORPORATIONS, AND HOW THE PROPOSED TAX BILL WOULD FAVOR CORPORATIONS AND EXACERBATE INEQUALITY, WHICH REACHED OVER 2 MILLION USERS ON TWITTER. WHILE THE REGRESSIVE BILL PASSED, OXFAM EFFORTS CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING THE BILL UNPOPULAR WITH THE PUBLIC AND SETTING THE STAGE FOR PROPOSED REFORMS IN 2019. OXFAM CO-ORGANIZED THE #NOMUSLIMBANEVER RALLY TO OPPOSE POLICY REFORMS UNDERMINING PROTECTIONS FOR IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES, AND GENERATED MEDIA ATTENTION FOR RENTING TRUMP'S CHILDHOOD HOME ON AIRBNB TO HOST REFUGEES AND FILM THEIR STORIES.

AID AFFECTIVENESS: IN THE FACE OF A GLOBAL REFUGEE CRISIS AND DEVELOPING FAMINES IN PARTS OF AFRICA, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROPOSED DRASTIC CUTS TO FOREIGN AID. OXFAM MOBILIZED TO ADVOCATE FOR MORE, NOT LESS, AID FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. SISTERS ON THE PLANET (SOPS) SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE PROPOSED CUTS ON THE HILL AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THE "FAMINE FOOD TRUCK" WAS USED TO DISTRIBUTE INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS URGING THE PUBLIC TO TELL CONGRESS TO FULLY FUND THE INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS BUDGET AND TO PASS EMERGENCY FUNDING FOR FAMINE RELIEF. CONGRESS ULTIMATELY PASSED AN ADDITIONAL $1BILLION IN EMERGENCY FUNDING FOR FAMINE RESPONSE, AND THE INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS BUDGET WAS CUT BY ONLY 6% AS COMPARED TO THE PROPOSED 32%. FOLLOWING HURRICANE MARIA OXFAM BROUGHT LOCAL PARTNERS FROM PUERTO RICO TO DC TO LOBBY FOR INCREASED FUNDING FOR RELIEF AND RECOVERY.

CONSTITUENCY BUILDING: OXFAM SISTERS ON THE PLANET (SOPS) GATHERED IN DC FOR A HUNGER & FAMINE ADVOCACY DAY, MEETING WITH 36 CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES INCLUDING 13 MEETINGS WITH KEY REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVES. 23 SOP AMBASSADORS ATTENDED REFUGEE LOBBY DAY TO MEET WITH 21 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. WE STRENGTHENED KEY ALLIANCES AND EMPOWERED ALLY ORGANIZATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE WITH OXFAM'S SUPPORT THE BORGEN PROJECT ORGANIZED 300 CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS WITH TOP MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE APPROPRIATIONS AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEES AND DELIVERED 61,000 EMAILS ADVOCATING FOR A STRONGER FOREIGN AID BUDGET.
