If anyone is in the boston area that's going, here is some info that might help. Also if people are in another city that are going, I'm sure Oxfam is organizing it there. Check it out!
Join Oxfam America and some of the world’s top music acts at the Live 8 concert on July 2 at the Museum of Art in Philadelphia, and demand an end to poverty!
The leaders of the world’s eight richest nations (the “G8”) will gather in Scotland on July 6 for the G8 Summit. The Live 8 concerts are being organized so that we can all get together to demand that the G8 help bring about an end to extreme global poverty. We want more and better aid, debt relief, and fair trade.
Oxfam has reserved a bus to transport our supporters from Boston to Philadelphia on the morning of the concert. We need volunteers to attend Live 8 and ask concert-goers to sign our Big Noise petition to “Make Trade Fair.” All volunteers will get a “Make Trade Fair” tee-shirt and we only ask for 1-2 hours of your time so that you can also enjoy the concert. For more information on the Big Noise petition, logon to
www.maketradefair.org.
The bus will be leaving promptly at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday morning from the corner of Charles St. and Beacon Street. Paid parking is available in the Boston Common parking lot. For directions and information go to
http://www.mccahome.com/garage/rates.aspx. The bus will return to Boston immediately following the conclusion of the concert.
Free breakfast and lunch will be provided to all volunteers on the bus. There are 55 seats on the bus, and will be reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis. To reserve a seat, contact Erin Allweiss at
eallweiss@oxfamamerica.org, and provide your contact information in the email.
All volunteers must attend a pre-concert briefing at Oxfam America on Thursday, June 30 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. The Oxfam office is located at 26 West Street, Boston (near the Park Street T stop).
If you can’t join us, be sure to check out the concert online at
