For those of you interested, this is a great opportunity to learn more
about Oxfam's campaigns.

Dear friends and supporters of Oxfam America and the Make Trade Fair
campaign,
Coldplay's "Twisted Logic" tour has returned to the U.S., and we'd
love for you to come and volunteer for a night for the Make Trade Fair
campaign. One of the year's biggest concerts is also a great
opportunity for you to help end global poverty.
Do you already know all about volunteering with us at Coldplay? Go
straight to the online sign-up form at www.oxfamamerica.org/coldplay.
Do you want to find out more first? Then read on…
The members of Coldplay support the Make Trade Fair campaign and have
asked Oxfam America to provide teams of volunteers at each concert. We
are looking for responsible and reliable people over the age of 18 who
enjoy talking to people, love music, and want to help promote fair
trade and economic justice.
Global trade should be a route out of extreme poverty, but the rules
of trade are rigged against poor countries. Oxfam America's campaign
to Make Trade Fair seeks to change the rules that prevent millions of
people from making a decent living.
As a volunteer, you will arrive a couple of hours before the show
(typically around 4:30pm) and stay until a half-hour after the show
(typically 11:30pm). You'll meet fellow volunteers, set up an
information table, get an orientation to the issues of Make Trade
Fair, and ask concert goers to sign the global petition to Make Trade
Fair. Typically you get to enjoy most of the concert, although we
cannot guarantee a seat. Admission is free, and you also get to wear
and keep a Make Trade Fair T-shirt.
This is a great way to have a lot of fun while creating public
pressure to help end poverty.
Yes, I want to come! How do I sign-up?
http://www.oxfamamerica.org/coldplay and fill out the online form. An
Oxfam America organizer will respond to you within a week of the
concert date if not sooner. Spaces are limited.
