Oxfam America | Oxfam Clubs 101 1

What sets Oxfam apart?We create partnerships.Rather than provide short-term aid, we work with local communities

to create lasting solutions to poverty by helping people address the root causes themselves.

We rely on the knowledge and insight of those affected, and we provide support to partner

organizations in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Caribbean.

Were independent. Among leading humanitarian organizations, we stand alone in our refusal

of US government funds. We accept no money from sources that could compromise our ability

to make decisions independently or to speak freely about injustice.

We work locally and globally.Oxfam is deeply committed to our community-based work, but

we also recognize that there are larger barriers that can keep people in poverty. To tackle these

obstacles, we do national and international policy and advocacy work.

We believe that human rights are fundamental and nonnegotiable.Oxfam adheres to theUN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which entitles all people to safety, a voice in the de-

cisions that affect them, equality, basic social services, and a secure means of earning a living.

Its a big job. But were not alone. Oxfam relies on like-minded people to help us give poor

people the support they need to change their lives. Here in the US, college students have

historically been some of our most active, committed, and creative supporters.

Though there are lots of ways for students to get involved with Oxfam, many choose to join

or start Oxfam Clubs on campus. These independent organizations support Oxfams work

through actions and events; in turn, we supply them with materials, research, training, and

ideas. Oxfam Clubs are currently active on about 100 college and university campuses

around the country.

For members, Oxfam Clubs can be a fun, dynamic, and collaborative way to join up withfellow activists while learning more about poverty and social justicenot to mention a chance

to make a real difference on the issues.

Sound like you? Then join the movement. This guide provides all the basic tools you need to

start and run your own Oxfam Club on campus. But were also here if you have questions

email us at [email protected]. And at the end of each section, youll find a list of

recommended reading; these links will take you right to our web site, where you can find

more resources.

Do your homework.Before you begin educating others, educate yourself by making sure you

have the proper resources and understanding. Go to our website (www.oxfamamerica.org) to

learn about the issues and read stories from affected people and communities. Youll also find

our fact sheets, toolkits, posters, and other free materials you can download and order.

Get connected.Register your club with Oxfam so we can stay in touch, keep you informed

of the latest news and volunteer opportunities, and provide you with tools and materials.

You can also hear about whats new at Oxfam byjoining our community on Facebook

(www.facebook.com/pages/Oxfam-America/150416930),reading our blog

(http://blogs.oxfamamerica.org), andfollowing us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/oxfamamerica).Recruit. Youve got the information. Now you just need people. Here are some ideas for

recruiting others to the cause:

Advertise: Write a press release for your student newspaper, create Facebook events and

groups, put up posters and fliers in the student union and dorms, or make announcements

in your classes or in lectures.

Table: Set up a table with information in high-traffic areas on campus (student union, out-

side a cafeteria, in major dorms, etc.) and at student activity fairs.

Meet: Hold an informational meeting to generate interest.

Follow up: Gather email addresses of interested students, and send out emails to keep

them updated and involved.

Wear it out: Once you are established, make T-shirts and designate days for club members

to wear them.

Meet up.Once youve got your group together, you can start holding regular club meetings.

You can make the most of your meetings if you:

Designate a set day, time, and location for your meetings, whether weekly, biweekly, or

monthly; this way, everyone knows how to find you and get involved.

Create an agenda ahead of time and stick to it.

Consider having a meeting with club leaders prior to general meetings to organize ideas

and to create an agenda.

Take minutes at every meeting to help make sure you carry out next steps; share them with

anyone in the club who couldnt attend.

Try to keep meetings under an hour. Consider providing some light snacks or beverages,

especially during informational meetings.

Keep everyone involved in each meetingallow time for discussion of ideas and opinions.

Alternate the types of meetings you hold: some informational, some planning, some group

building, and some celebratory.

Find an adviser.Some schools require groups to have a faculty adviser in order to be offi-

cially recognized on campus. Whether required or not, an adviser can help you follow proce-

dures and reserve rooms, and can serve as a resource for your club for years to comesince

professors and staff stay on campus much longer than students.

Get recognized. Once youve generated interest from students (and possibly faculty), work

toward gaining official club recognition from your school; check your schools activities website

for further information. Recognition can give your club access to funding and greater visibility

on campus.

Know your mission.Work with members to create a club mission statement or vision plan.

Some schools require a written constitution for recognition as well; you can create your own

or use ours.

Elect leaders. Most clubs operate with a president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary.

As the club grows, many elect leaders for specific campaigns. You may also want to consider

appointing a communications or publicity person, who takes charge of email lists, Facebook,

media contacts, and other forms of promotion.

Climate change

People like to talk about global warming like its a problem to deal with in the future. But

the reality is that poor people are already struggling with it right now. You dont have to go

to drought-riddled Ethiopia or flood-threatened Cambodia or malaria-prone South Africa towitness it. Just take a trip to the hurricane-battered US Gulf Coast or look at the damage done

by the wildfires in California. Climate change kills off crops, destroys homes, and creates mas-

sive refugee problems. Theres no time to waste. We must help poor communities deal with

the effects right now.

As an international relief and development organization dedicated to finding lasting solutions

to poverty and injustice, Oxfam America is bringing the human dimension to the climate

change debate. We believe that in order for communities to adapt to climate change

indeed, in order for them to begin overcoming povertythey must take early action to

reduce their vulnerability and build their resilience to new and heightened risks. We are

asking that the US go beyond cutting greenhouse gas emissions by providing financial assis-

tance so that the most vulnerable communities here and abroad can adapt.

If we act quickly, we can reduce the damaging impact that climate change has on poor peoples

lives and livelihoods. But if we fail to help in time, they will suffer far greater damage, and at

a much higher human and financial cost. Thats why we need US leaders to act on this issue

nowand your club can help us get the message across.

Right to know, right to decide

Right to Know, Right to DecideOxfams new campaign on oil, gas, and miningcalls on

companies to disclose all the facts about how their projects affect communities, and to obtain

the free, prior, and informed consent of these communities before drilling.

For example, if you learned that a major oil, gas, or mining company planned to build a newproject in your neighborhood, you would have some important questions. Will people be

forced to relocate? Will there be decent jobs for locals? Will the environment be harmed?

Where will the funding come from for site cleanup? Who will benefit from the project, and

how much money will they receive?

In countries like Guatemala, Ghana, Cambodia, and El Salvador, people are asking these

same questionsand in many cases, theyre not getting straight answers. Thats why Oxfam

is calling on major oil, gas, and mining companies to respect peoples right to know

all the facts about how these projects affect their communities. Once communities

have the information they need, they must have the right to decide whether or not to

consent to a project that affects their land, water, health, and means of earning a living.

Throughout our campaign, well be calling on you to take action and make sure companies

respect the rights of communities around the world.

Class ring co. voices support for cleaner gold mining tactics

By Claire Reynolds

Efforts of UT student activists have led the

company that produces UTs class rings to

support a campaign calling for mining companies

to embrace more environmentally and socially

responsible techniques in their operations.

According to the Web site for the international

campaign No Dirty Gold [Oxfams previous

campaign around oil, gas, and mining], goldmining has been linked to environmental and

human rights violations. UTs class rings are

produced by Balfour, one of three name brands

under the Austin-based Commemorative Brands

Inc., which is the frst class ring company to

endorse the golden rules, said [Oxfams]

Paul Bugala.

None of this would have happened without the

efforts of the Oxfam No Dirty Gold chapter at UT

Austin, Bugala said. They took the ideas that

we put forth and really gave them life.

UT students began their efforts in the campaign

more than a year ago by tabling on campus and

creating a petition in support of the No

Dirty Gold campaign. They also published

opinion pieces in campus publications, said

Ana Wolfowicz, history senior and vice

president of Oxfam at UT.

After Balfour representatives saw the articles,

they decided they wanted to hear more about

what we had to say and they started talking toOxfam America, Wolfowicz said. Our part was

basically educating the campus and the Austin

community, she said.

Oxfam UT activists are currently tabling

outside of the Texas Union. They are hoping

to also gain the support of Jostens, another

class ring company, by sending No Dirty Gold-

themed valentines.

This taught us that nothing happens overnight,

Wolfowicz said. Were not done, we realize that

we have the power to inuence change, so we

want to keep using that, she said.

Hunger and poverty

In 00 rising food prices forced 40 million more people worldwide into hunger, bringing

the total number of men, women, and children who no longer have a secure source of food

to almost one billion. That means about one-sixth of the worlds population now faces

chronic hunger.

At Oxfam, we are working to change this. Many people believe that hunger is about too many

people and too little food. This is not the case. Our planet produces enough food to feed every

woman, man, and child on earth. Hunger is about power. Its roots lie in inequalities in access

to education and resources.

Hungers not the only thing that affects poor people disproportionately. Inevitably, natural and

man-made disasters strike the poorest people hardest. Poor people are often pushed onto

depleted lands where they must survive using scarce local resources. Houses perched near

ravines, villages without the means to reach help in times of trouble, lack of emergency medi-

cal assistanceall of these turn natural events, like floods and storms, into human tragedies.

Think back to when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans: the hardest hit neighborhoods, like

the Ninth Ward, were also the citys poorest. To make matters worse, poor people often have

the fewest resources for recovery.

For over 35 years, Oxfam America has worked to strengthen the movement to alleviate

poverty and all that comes with itincluding hunger and vulnerability to humanitarian

emergencies. Since 194, ourFast for a World Harvestcampaign has called on Americans to

raise awareness about hunger throughOxfam America Hunger Banquetevents and otherFast

events. When disaster strikes, Oxfam moves quickly to meet peoples critical needs. Every

bit as important, we stay to work with devastated communities as they rebuild. We recognize

that humanitarian emergencies give people the opportunity to build back stronger, so we try

to spread the word about the importance of helping communities even after the disaster fades

from the headlines. Your club can help us educate others about how poverty increases the risk

of disaster, and you can support our work by speaking out about humanitarian issues worldwide.

Follow these steps to host a fun and successful event:

Plan it out.As your club gets off the ground, take some time to plan your activities for the

year ahead. You can achieve the greatest impact if you put some thought into the process.

Keep an eye on your university calendar of holidays, breaks, major athletic events, andexams. Avoid scheduling events that conflict with other big moments.

Leave time at the beginning of the year for recruiting, strategizing, and planning.

Consider the size of your group and amount of resources when planning the number of

eventslarge groups may be able to accomplish several events per semester, while smaller

groups should focus on one. Make sure you involve your entire club, since everyone has a

talent to contribute.

Create a club calendar with meetings, deadlines, and event dates.

Set a goal.When planning an event, clearly identify a goal youd like to accomplish. Do you

want to generate signatures for a petition? Recruit new Oxfam supporters? Call on legislators

or a company to do the right thing? Raise money for your club? Your event can have more thanone goal, but whatever your aim, make sure you set specific, and realistic, targets for success

(for example, 500 signatures gathered). Afterward, you can measure your event against this

goal, discuss what did and didnt work, and use what you learned to inform your next steps.

Choose an event. The possibilities are nearly endlessand so are your opportunities to be

creative. Oxfam Clubs around the country have hosted everything from roundtable discus-

sions to letter-writing parties, speaker series to film screenings, art exhibits to fashion shows.

When choosing an event, consider your club members interests and skills. (For example,

if you have musicians in the group, think about holding a benefit concert.) Or plan around

holidays. (Hold a climate change film screening on Earth Day or an Oxfam America Hunger

Banquetevent before Thanksgiving break.) To get you started, weve put together a list of

ideas online and in Oxfams organizing guide, but dont be afraid to come up with your own.

The more unique your event, the more fun and effective it will be for you and your participants.

Spread the word. Whatever event you choose, make sure you get the word out in the days

and weeks ahead to ensure a good turnout.

Network: Nothing brings people to an event like the chance to hang out with friends while

making a difference. Use your personal network to get the word out; post a notice on your

Facebook page, and talk to people in your house, dorm, classes, or other activities.

Collaborate: Look for like-minded campus groups, and find out if they want to co-sponsor

your event or promote it to their members. (For example, partner with a womens rights

When you host an on-campus event to support our campaigns, youre makinga signifcant contribution to Oxams eorts. Youre helping us get the word out;educating others about the issues; and showing riends and ellow students thatthey, too, have the power to make a dierence. Spreading knowledge spreadsawareness; awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. This is howgrassroots movements are builtone person at a time.

group on an event around women and climate change.) Besides bringing in more people

and resources, these groups can add different perspectives to the issues.

Advertise: Put up posters, chalk sidewalks, and hang banners to get peoples attention.

Table: Host an informational table in the dining halls and other common areas.

Use the media: Reach out to your campus paper and radio station, and ask them to cover

your event. Off campus, your local newspaperwhether its large or smallcan be a great

forum for publicizing your cause. See the publicity and media checklist below for tips on

how to reach the media.

Publicity and media checklist

Immediately

Select a group member to head the publicity for your group, and make lists for the two types of press tocontact. Advance press includes calendar editors, community bulletin boards at TV and cable stations,

and public service directors; these outlets typically have deadlines three to six weeks prior to an event.

News press includes news editors, assignment editors, and reporters; they typically have deadlines of

two weeks to a few days before an event.

Two months before your event

Send out press releases to your advance list (see our organizing guide for tips on writing a press release),

and consider taking photos to send to print publications. When pitching your event to the media, think about

a hookwhat makes it different and newsworthy? Why should others in your community be interested?

One month before

Follow up with members of the advance press to make sure they received your press release.

Two weeks before

Send press releases to your news list.

One week before

Follow up with those on the news list. Remind them about the event, and let them know why it deserves to

be covered.

One day before

Follow up again with those on the news list. Ask if your event will be covered, and find out if they need

any special arrangements to do so.

The day of the event

Arrange for someone in the group to take photos to send with captions to interested media outlets.

After the event

Evaluate the media coverage of the event. Analyze what worked and make improvements for next time.

Tell us about it. After your event, email us at [email protected] and let us know how it went. We love

to hear about your successes, and we can also help evaluate how it went or brainstorm ideas for next time.

And dont forgetyou can also email us anytime with questions.
