We’ll have a stall at Banbury Canal Day, where we’ll be chatting about our current campaign Carbon Capital. Banbury Canal Day is well worth a visit if you live in the area; there will be horse & cart rides, a falconry display, a food market and lots more. Come and find us in Spiceball Park.

Deborah Doane is stepping down as director of WDM after nearly four and a half years as director.

Join us at Oxford Town Hall to help us plan an exciting autumn. We’re meeting at 7:30pm in the (wheelchair-accessible) Plowman Room. We often head to a nearby pub for a drink afterwards. Why not come along? Non-members welcome too.
We’re part of Global Justice Now, a democratic membership organisation which campaigns against inequality and injustice in the global economy. We want to see a world where ordinary people control the resources they need to live a decent life, rather than corporations and the super rich calling the shots.
