Urgent Action Needed!
We need your help to make sure the Menendez amendment becomes part of the final Lieberman- Warner bill. Please call your Senator's office today and ask them to support the Menendez Amendment to increase funding for the International Climate Change Adaptation and National Security Program.
To make it easier, we've written out four simple steps to make your call as effective as possible.
1. Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
2. Ask for one of your senator's offices. If you don't know the names of your senators, tell the operator what state you live in and that you'd like to be connected with one of your senators.
3. Once connected, tell the person who answers that you are a constituent. Give him or her your name and address. Ask them to tell the senator the following: Please support the Menendez amendment on "International Adaptation" to the Climate Security Act. Instead of giving away greenhouse gas permits for free to major oil companies, we should shift those permits to increase funding to help poor countries around the world adapt to climate change.
4. Once you are finished, hang up and repeat the instructions for your other senator. Then let us know what they said.
As the Senate prepares to debate the Climate Security Act, we have a key opportunity to shape comprehensive climate legislation. Thank you for your work and all that you do to help end poverty and injustice.

Earth Day!
We spent Earth Day Sunday April 20th at the:
Green Apple Festival, Bicentennial Park!
It was a great success for us, we were able to acquire over 200 signatures for our presidential petition ( and we had a great time)!!!! Go Team!
Thanks again to all our volunteers!
We are the Miami Chapter of the Oxfam Action Corps which spreads over 13 States in the US. We are working to help people in poorer countries cope with the effects of Climate Change.
Climate Change will affect us all but the people in poorer nations have less impact on the effects of climate change but more consequences in the end.
