Global Justice Oxford is holding its Annual General Meeting tonight. This is a chance to find out more about the group, get involved with our decision-making and perhaps get involved with our work. Several roles are up for re-election:

  • Chair
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Communications Officer

The people currently filling these roles are all standing down, so this is a great opportunity to get involved with the group and maybe add a new responsibility to your CV.

We’re meeting in the (wheelchair-accessible) Ploughman Room at Oxford Town Hall from 7:30pm.

If you were inspired by our speaker meeting in March, perhaps you’d  like to come to a “regular” meeting of Global Justice Oxford. Newcomers are always welcome and it’s a chance to get to know us in a slightly more relaxed setting.

Where? Oxford Town Hall

When? Tuesday 14th April

Meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month and usually happen at Oxford Town Hall. We always do our best to book a wheelchair-accessible room.

 

 

 

Global Justice Oxford relaunch event!

by Leave a Comment

Global Justice Oxford is relaunching! To celebrate our name change from Oxford WDM, we are holding a relaunch event in Oxford. It’s one of many Global Justice Now relaunches happening all over the country as local groups look forward to campaigning with a new identity. Entry is free and everybody is welcome – you don’t have to be a supporter of our organisation.

Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now, is coming to Oxford to speak at our event. If you don’t know much about Global Justice Now – or perhaps you’ve never even heard of us – Nick’s talk will be an accessible introduction to who we are, what we do and why it matters.

Three super-short films

To give a bit of context about our campaigns, we’ll be showing three very short but thought-provoking films.

  • How our banks finance climate change
  • Interview with Naomi Klein
  • Micro-hydro: a positive alternative to Big Energy

Please tell your friends!

The Long Room at Oxford Town Hall holds up to 50 people. We’d like to get as many people along as possible on the night. Please share this blog post far and wide so people know about our event!

When? Tuesday 10th March, 7:30pm

Where? The Long Room, Oxford Town Hall

Come to our November meeting

The Oxford WDM November meeting will take place at Oxford Town Hall on Tuesday 11th November. As ever, we’ll be in a wheelchair-accessible room and non-members are very welcome to come along and meet the group. Get here for 7:30pm and the meeting should be done by 9pm…then we might have a trip to a nearby pub!

One World Fair

by Leave a Comment

Oxford WDM will have a stall at this year’s One World Fair. We’ll be asking people to sign cards protesting against the seriously dodgy TTIP treaty and we’ll also have some materials about the corporate carve-up of Africa (which may or may not include cake). The One World Fair is usually a lovely event and a chance to get started on your (dare we say the word?) Christmas shopping. If you’re there, please do come along, say hello and perhaps sign a postcard.
