Thank you.
Your support and dedication over the past few unimaginable months have meant the world to all of us at Oxfam America. And for that – for you – I am extremely grateful.
The need in our troubled world continues to be great and there isn't a moment to lose. Last week the US surpassed 130,000 new daily COVID-19 cases for the first time. COVID-19 has impacted so many. And that means lives lost and people at home and around the world still suffering because of the pandemic.
We are starting efforts immediately to ensure that President-elect Biden ushers in a transformational plan to put an end to the pandemic, save the economy, and tackle the root causes of inequality that have been severely exacerbated by this crisis.
There is no time to waste. Can I count on you to support our work to tackle our biggest challenges, from COVID-19 to climate change, from inequality to injustice? Please rush your urgent gift now >>
We are calling on President-elect Biden and Congress to:
-
Enact a People's Vaccine that is free and accessible to all based on need, not wealth.
-
Pass a multi-trillion-dollar economic recovery plan that challenges corporate power and invests in millions of dignified, green jobs for the people hardest hit by the pandemic, especially women and people of color.
-
Work in partnership with our allies to provide significant new funding and debt-relief to the global fight against COVID-19.
-
Address the root causes of our current crisis by including reforms that protect the rights of workers and finally ensure wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
With your support, Oxfam will push hard and stand strong in our commitment to hold our newly-elected president accountable on delivering a bold, new agenda that fights against structural injustices of poverty and inequality, scales up our COVID-19 response at home and around the world, and delivers immediate action on climate change.
At the same time, we will continue to work every day alongside our partners to alleviate hunger and poverty around the world. I hope you can pitch in with a donation right now - for the urgent needs of today, and all the work to come >>
Thank you for all that you have done, and will continue to do, to build a better tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Abby Maxman
President
Oxfam America
