"Is this street theatre?" Asked a passerby on June 1st as volunteers and friends of Oxfam Action Corps Madison participated in launching the Grow Campaign. We were all dressed up in formal attire sitting around a finely set table with roses right in the middle of Capitol Square. We were certainly getting attention! But unfortunately it was so windy we were unable to put up any Oxfam signage. Still we managed to get about 30 signatures supporting funding for the international affairs budget for 2012. We were also able to raise awareness around the existence of Oxfam America for some, and the focus of the new campaign for others who already knew about us, and got a few new contacts to add to our list! All in all a fun time and a successful action :)
Our next monthly meeting will be held on the Terrace at Memorial Union on Tuesday, June, 14th at 5:30pm. Rain location = the Rathskeller. You will know us by the green and white Oxfam bandanas!
