Oxfam webinar invitation

Friend, Your phone. America’s AI boom. Mines in DR-Congo, Zambia, and Mozambique. What connects them? New consumer and defense technologies—think phones, satellites, and drones—all rely on critical minerals like cobalt, copper, graphite, and lithium. As companies race to extract these raw materials from mineral-rich communities across the Global South, they are exacerbating humanitarian emergencies and making big-tech billionaires richer at the expense of local communities. Join Oxfam for a virtual briefing on Tuesday, October 27 at 12 p.m. ET. We’ll connect some of today’s biggest topics—AI, electric vehicles, batteries, and economic security—to the mining of the critical minerals that power them. And we'll explore the impact on communities where those minerals are extracted. RSVP NOW You’ll hear directly from Oxfam experts Andrew Bogrand, Policy Lead for Human Rights and Natural Resource Justice, and Maria Ramos, Co-lead for Natural Resource Justice, on the global race for the minerals powering batteries, artificial intelligence, clean energy, and national security. We will travel behind the technology to meet communities in Mozambique and Zambia living at the start of the supply chain—and explore a critical question: Who really stands to profit in this new commodity boom, and will the people whose land contains these resources share its benefits? As demand for these minerals is projected to soar, now is the time to discuss Oxfam’s ongoing work to ensure local communities living near mines have a voice in decisions about their land, livelihoods, and future. We hope you’ll join us on Tuesday, October 27 at 12 p.m. ET for this conversation. Register here to secure your spot >> Sincerely, Oxfam America This email was sent to you@example.com.
