Why Should I Sign?

Around the world, poverty is growing fast. One in six people now suffers from chronic hunger: over a billion women, men, and children. Inequality—coupled with the global economic downturn—is driving up the number of people in poverty.

The trend can seem unstoppable, but one person can make a difference. When you pledge to ACT FAST with Oxfam, you’re joining a movement to beat poverty—a movement that could grow even faster than poverty. From our work around the world, we know that what starts small—with one person, one idea, a few dollars—can quickly become a force for widespread change. So pledge to ACT FAST with Oxfam today. 1, 10, 100: You're part of something bigger.
