Victorian Activists Network - Make Poverty History May 3, 2005

"2005 is shaping up to be an exciting year. In joining the global MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign we?re stepping up the pressure on governments and international institutions to make the right decisions to end poverty for good. You can view more about the campaign at www.oxfam.org.au/campaigns

NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We need as many people as possible to get involved in the campaign and you can help by joining the Victorian Activists Network (VAN). This will be a new look Oxfam campaigning group focusing on the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign. The VAN will involve a number of teams focussing on a range of areas such as organising events and actions, providing public speakers, and hopefully direct lobbying of relevant institutions and organisations.

We?d love you to join us for the launch of the group. Jeff Atkinson, Advocacy Coordinator, will be speaking on the new ?Agriculture in Crisis Report? as well as our involvement in the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign."
