The big picture
As well as running projects to help poor people affected by the current crisis, Oxfam is lobbying the people who have the most power to solve the current crisis. This includes things such as intense negotiations and high profile media stunts, like this one at the Food Crisis Summit in Rome in 2008. But you don't need to dress up in a silly costume to make a difference. Sign our petition to help put pressure on world leaders to tackle short-term needs and long-term causes. Photo: Oxfam.
