ORGANIZATION: Action Corps

  • 3 people are interested

Do you want to take action against ironies? Such as the fact that people who grow your food--many of whom are women--cannot afford to feed their own families? Or that one in seven people goes to bed hungry every night even though the world produces enough food for everybody?

Do you want to achieve local policies to sustainably feed a growing population and empower everyone to be able to earn a living, feed their families, and thrive?

Do you want to hold governments and businesses accountable for the impact of their policies and practices have on the environment and their constituents and consumers?

Action Corps is a national, solely volunteer-led, grassroots effort aimed at ensuring everyone has access to basic resources. We make it our mission to educate the community on local, national, and global campaigns and initiatives that many times are life changing to those without a voice.

We have worked on climate change, the refugee crisis, pay for global farmers, food aid reform, and many many others.

Do you want to be involved in something, but feel like you just can’t commit a set amount of hours each week? That’s okay! Volunteering with the Action Corps is extremely flexible and most of it can be virtual, done at 2pm or 2am! We’re not a stiff group; we try to have fun, but still take our work and efforts very seriously. Anyone is welcome to volunteer, regardless of age or experience level; all you need is a willingness to make a difference.

Volunteering could be anything from simply posting on social media to visiting or writing an elected official; from graphic design to policy research; drafting newsletters to organizing awareness concerts in your neighbourhood.

No matter what your skill set or interest, we need you. You will add value no matter what you are doing or how much time you are able to give.

Please check out our website or email us to learn more.

Mission Statement

The mission of Action Corps is to champion justice in solidarity with people most affected by climate disasters and violent conflict. We achieve this mission by bringing together diverse actors for humanitarian advocacy⁠​⁠⁠--connecting grassroots activists to NGOs, media and members of Congress.

Description

​Action Corps is a grassroots initiative to build people power in solidarity with people around the world. The organization is focused on U.S. policies in solidarity with people from Yemen and Burma, communities most affected by climate disasters, and low-income countries dealing with COVID-19. Action Corps grew out of Oxfam and is volunteer-run with advocates in 30 states.

Action Corps played a pivotal role in the passage of the historic Yemen War Powers Resolution to stop U.S. participation in the devastating war in Yemen. And we have secured key commitments from congressional leaders in support of the people of Yemen. For example, in October 2019, after leading rallies in front of their offices, Action Corps met face-to-face with Sen. Schumer, Senate minority leader, and with Sen. Jack Reed, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and held a community meal with Rep. Eliot Engel, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Soon after, all of them, at our urging, released public statements, calling for an end to U.S. participation in the devastating war in Yemen.
