Music

We believe music can change the world. Do you? If so, it’s time to make some noise. Join Oxfam and our network of volunteers—along with musicians and bands like Coldplay, WILCO, Angelique Kidjo, and Arcade Fire—in a global movement to overcome poverty and injustice.

Oxfam is teaming up with volunteers and supporters in the music industry—including musicians, labels, managers, and media—in the fight against poverty and injustice. With the power of many voices speaking together, we can call on companies and legislators to change the laws and practices that keep people in poverty. We can respond when crises strike, and inspire action on some of the world's most urgent issues. But we can't do it alone. We need your voice.
