Action Corps and the Concert for the Climate

Hello Oxfam supporters! Are you looking for a way to get involved with the Kansas City Action Corps, but have some concerns about what you would be doing, the time commitment, or the work load involved? Well, we have a really awesome volunteer opportunity coming up this weekend, and it will only take as much time as you have to spare.

The KC Oxfam Action Corps will be tabling this Saturday, September 28th, at the Concert for the Climate. This event, being held at Kaw Point Riverfront Park, will feature music, workshops, and speakers. The purpose of the event is to show people the real impact of climate change and teach them how the actions of an individual can really make a difference in the environment... while having a good time, of course! The concert is sponsored by multiple organizations, including the NRDC and The Sierra Club. Even more exciting? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the keynote speaker! The Concert for the Climate is free and open to the public; parking is free, too.

For more information on the Concert for the Climate, check out www.concertfortheclimate.org.

The Action Corps will have a table set up for the entire day-long event. Our goal is talk to as many people as possible about the work of Oxfam America and inspire people to get involved (signing a petition counts!). If you're interested in joining the Action Corps this Saturday, email us at kansascity@oxfamactioncorps.org to let us know. There's no required time commitment; simply come for as long as you're able and chat with climate-concerned citizens about Oxfam. And bring a friend... the more the merrier!
