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

GLOBAL CAMPAIGNS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE: BUILD BACK BETTER: LAST YEAR OAAF ADVOCATED FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT, WHICH COVERED MULTIPLE POLICY AREAS PERTINENT TO OXFAM'S MISSION, INCLUDING: CHILD CARE, PAID LEAVE, INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE TAX, DOMESTIC TAXES ON THE WEALTHY, LABOR PROTECTIONS, FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES, PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP (DREAMERS, FARMWORKERS, ESSENTIAL/FRONTLINE) AND COVID-19 VACCINATIONS. IN OCTOBER 2021, OAAF DELIVERED PETITIONS SIGNED BY 90,000 SUPPORTERS FROM EVERY STATE ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HOUSE SPEAKER PELOSI AND SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SCHUMER, ALONG WITH OTHER CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP. OAAF CONDUCTED THIS WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH A VARIETY OF CHILD CARE COALITIONS, THE FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES COALITION, OR THE PEOPLE'S VACCINE COALITION. TITLE 42: OAAF CONTINUED ITS ADVOCACY AND LITIGATION AGAINST THE US GOVERNMENT'S CONTINUED USE OF TITLE 42 TO EXPEL REFUGEE FAMILIES AT THE BORDER. OXFAM ORGANIZED SISTERS ON THE PLANET TO CONDUCT LOBBY MEETINGS WITH KEY OFFICES AND DIRECTED OXFAM SUPPORTERS TO EMAIL THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, WITH NEARLY 6,000 EMAILS SENT TO CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES IN RESPONSE TO THE THREAT OF BILLS OR AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD FORCE BIDEN TO REINSTATE THE TITLE 42 POLICY.PEOPLE'S VACCINE: OAAF CONTINUED TO PUSH FOR $5 BILLION IN GLOBAL COVID FUNDING, TO ENSURE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING VACCINES, TREATMENTS, AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, WITH HOPES THAT FUNDING WILL BE INCLUDED IN A YEAR-END GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL. THIS FUNDING WOULD: ADDRESS IMMEDIATE HEALTH NEEDS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS, INCLUDING IMMUNIZATIONS AND MATERNAL CARE; AND LESSEN THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC, LIKE LOSS OF WAGES, RISE IN HUNGER, DISRUPTIONS IN EDUCATION ALL OF WHICH ARE HITTING WOMEN HARDER THAN MEN.
