Latest campaigning action from OOG

You'll see from the last post that Oxfam is campaigning on 'food justice' for all, and OOG's modest contribution so far has been to take the campaign to the Elder Stubbs Festival in August, a fantastic local festival just full of people engaged in making positive food choices.

Also in August, OOG campaigners promoted the Robin Hood Tax, an increasingly popular way of raising money for development, climate change mitigation and other good causes. The Oxford Mail covered our mini drama outside the Oxfam shop in Broad Street, after which we made this film parodying the 'official' Robin Hood Tax film on the campaign's website. All good fun, and in all seriousness, in 30 years, the idea of such a tax on financial transactions has moved from the fringes to the mainstream, with France having actually enacted one.

The campaign group meets on the first Thursday of each month at 6.30pm in the Mitre - why not join us?
