We need to increase manufacturing and supply to ensure that vaccines are accessible to everyone, everywhere. This can't wait.
Sign the petitionWe fight to protect the rights and livelihoods of people most affected by the climate crisis and advocate for government action to help communities cope with climate impacts and shift funding from fossil fuel subsidies to climate-friendly alternatives. We call on governments to aggressively fund sustainable climate solutions such as solar and wind energy.
We reject the extreme concentration of wealth and power that drives inequality, and we challenge billionaires, corporations, governments, and international financial institutions every day to do better. We work to change tax policies so that big companies pay their fair share and stop using offshore tax havens and other practices that rob developing countries of money they could use to fight poverty.
We advocate for more equal economies, workers’ rights, corporate accountability, and debt relief for low-income countries, as well as investments in health care and education for all in the US and globally. We bring low-wage workers to talk directly with their elected officials so they have more say over the policies that affect their lives. We also call on US policymakers to strengthen protections for these workers by raising the minimum wage, providing workplace safety requirements, and advocating for paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, and affordable childcare.
We envision a future where more local people lead their own humanitarian responses and recovery. We call for policy change that protects those forced to flee their homes, and we push for government action to strengthen funding for local humanitarian action, bolster the role of women as leaders and advocates, and help local and national communities and governments improve their disaster management systems.
We envision a world where women and girls gain power over every aspect of their lives, live free from violence, and influence institutions. That’s why Oxfam has made gender justice a critical component in every country where we work to help overcome gender discrimination and influence public policy decisions.

Despite flagrant violations of the global transparency initiative’s rules, Exxon has again been nominated for a leadership role in the EITI Board. Members elect a new Board on June 12 in Dakar, Senegal.
In anticipation of Mother’s Day on May 14, we convened a group of women at Oxfam who have expertise around gender, care, and labor policies—as well as feelings about being a woman in the world today. It was a fascinating and illuminating conversation about a holiday with deep, complicated, and emotional roots.
Perhaps no element of extractive-sector transparency is more critical to informing the clean-energy transition than project-level greenhouse gas emissions disclosures. And yet, the EITI Board and its Secretariat are proceeding with Standard revisions that so far fail to incorporate this essential disclosure.
Low-income countries spend way too much on interest and debt repayments--more than they spend on education, health, and social safety net programs combined. We can address this crisis.
Workers' Memorial Day offers a moment to remember those who died on the job, and to recommit to achieving changes that will protect the lives of ALL workers. Oxfam is proud to partner with National COSH, and to welcome guest bloggers on this vital topic.
