Latina workers lose about $1.2 million over the course of a 40-year career due to the wage gap.

This isn’t equity—it’s injustice. Latinas deserve fair pay now. #LatinaEqualPay

The Trump admin's claim that no one has died from cuts to USAID is devastatingly and disastrously untrue. Their attacks on USAID stranded lifesaving medication and children died waiting in the DRC. Congress cannot sit idly by and must fund lifesaving aid.

In his #UNGA80 speech, President Trump denied the climate crisis, bragged about ending wars & economic woes that his policies exacerbate & undermined the UN. Meanwhile, conflicts escalate & climate and inequality impacts grow. Shameful.

The Trump Administration is prioritizing billionaire wealth over the lives of millions around the world, who will now be pushed even deeper into poverty. This is an inequality crisis.

Political violence should have no place in America. Reprehensible acts of violence have harmed people of every political persuasion, undermining our democracy and safety.

We can't let billionaire corporations get away with mistreating their workers to further pad their profit margins. We applaud Senator Hawley and @warren.senate.gov's bipartisan pressure on Amazon’s unfair schedules that prevent workers from managing child care, education, or a second job.

When Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005, it changed the Gulf Coast and the way Oxfam operates forever. Like so many of you, we watched in horror as the gov't failed to respond in the aftermath of the storm.

Our reflections 20 years later: www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...

How disaster brought us together

Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina transformed Oxfam’s approach to domestic operations, we continue to uplift communities in the South.
