COVID-19 - Cancellation
-
In light of concerns about the public health threat of COVID-19 and restrictions on public gatherings around the US, Oxfam Connect 2020 has been canceled.
Our top priority is the health and safety of our supporters, staff, and people in communities around the world where Oxfam is present - many of whom are already facing multiple threats to their health and livelyhoods and are particularly sucsceptible to additional hardship from COVID-19.
While we are deeply disappointed that we won't be connecting with supporters in person this June, we are committed to finding exciting ways to engage virtually.
Read about and support Oxfam's COVID-19 response here.
With any questions, or if you'd like to be invited to our upcoming virtual conversations about Oxfam's emerging work related to COVID-19, please contact the planning team at [email protected].
