- Don't cut ordinary Haitians out of planning Haiti's future!
- World leaders and financiers will meet in New York this month to map out Haiti's reconstruction. But community leaders and poor people from Haiti haven't yet been invited. Call on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to push the meeting's organizers to give Haitian citizens and community leaders a seat at the table and a voice in the deliberations. It's a major chance to turn things around for Haiti.
- Tell Congress: No more secret payments!
- A bill now in Congress would help protect poor people by making oil, gas, and mining companies open their books–but industry lobbyists are fighting it. Poor communities have a right to follow the money–and to call for a fair share for schools, health care, and jobs.

- A Proposed Mine in Tambogrande, Peru: An Alternative Look
- Water is life
- High in the cloud forest of Piura, local communities understand the importance of the area's water sources and medicinal plants. They warn the proposed Rio Blanco copper mine would be catastrophic to the fragile and pristine environment here.
- Lifeblood at risk
- In northern Peru, small-scale farmers can earn more by growing organic products. They say the rush to mine for copper in the mountains above their farms would contaminate the region and put their futures at risk.
- Standing up for justice
- In 2005, thousands of unarmed Peruvians peacefully protested against the Rio Blanco Copper Mine for illegally exploring for minerals on community land without their consent. One local resident, Cleofé Neyra, describes how she and 27 others were tortured and their struggle to defend their land and human rights.
- Copper in the Clouds
- In northern Peru, local governments, community leaders, and farmers say the proposed Rio Blanco Copper Mine would be devastating to local communities. In an area where drinking water is already scarce, pollution from the mine would be an environmental disaster for the entire region.
- Follow the Money
- Standing at the pump, watching the numbers tick away, do you ever wonder where the money goes? You're not alone: People on the other end of the pipeline are wondering too. While we feel the pinch in our pockets, citizens of oil-producing countries are often not seeing the profits.
- A perfect storm is driving millions into poverty
- More than one billion people now face chronic hunger—and more could join their ranks if we don't act now. With increasing food prices, droughts and floods, and economic pressures, 40 years of progress against extreme poverty is at risk. Oxfam is ready with innovative programs that can save lives.
- Climate change wake-up call
- You know about global warming. You may already be doing your part to protect the environment. But, climate change is a human issue too—it's hitting the poorest people hardest.
