Canadian Foodgrains Bank Action (CAN)

Send a postcard urging the Canadian government to commit to its fair share of funding for climate change in developing countries - especially funding that empowers the most vulnerable people, such as small-scale farmers, to adapt to changes.

End the U.S. Embargo of Cuba

The CRC is a longtime advocate for an end to the U.S.'s unilateral embargo on Cuba. Please join us by raising your voice in support of an initial step: ending the ban on travel to and from Cuba by U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and easing restrictions on the export of U.S. agricultural commodities.

Jubilee Act (US)

Good news! The Jubilee Act for Responsible Lending and Expanded Debt Cancellation (HR 4405) has been reintroduced. This bill would give much-needed debt cancellation to 22 additional impoverished countries left out of previous debt relief deals. The passage of the Jubilee Act will urge the Obama Administration to make a new deal on debt so that poor countries can devote scarce resources to fighting poverty instead of massive debt payments.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform (US)

OSJ advocates for comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) that would provide humane enforcement of laws, an earned path to legalization, promote family unity, and protect workers and their families. Please contact your Representative today and urge him/her to cosponsor H.R. 4321: Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act of 2009 (CIR ASAP).

Reuniting Families Act (US)

This bill provides the opportunity to reunite the families of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. In many cases, the families covered by this bill have been separated for decades as their cases have stalled in the backlogged and bureaucratic immigration system. They deserve - and the United States deserves - a more efficient process by which people can be admitted to the United States and join their family members.

World Hunger: Advocate (CAN & US)

Talk to your elected representative about how Canadian and American international aid and trade policies affect those who are hungry throughout the world. Ask your representative to look at ways to ensure that these policies are equitable for all who are affected by them.
