Tabling at the UNLV Involvment Fair










The OAC participated at the UNLV Involvement fair on September 9th to get more students engaged in the LV Oxfam Action Corps. Angelica and Tonopah talked to several students about our grassroots constituency. Those that were unable to get involved, were interested in signing our petition, which asks the next U.S. president to take climate change seriously. The two members met several interesting people, including a doctor who previously lived in South Africa and had traveled to over 100 hundred countries! He shared his experiences abroad and talked about his encounters with Oxfam in developing countries. The OAC members also met a volunteer for Amnesty International who is interested in working with the LVOAC.
As a result, the tabling event was a success!
