Exclusive video! Coldplay’s dreaming of a White Chris-mas
Drumroll….
You might have noticed us getting a little bit excited on Twitter about Coldplay’s thank you gift to you guys for your support of the GROW campaign since we took it on the road with the band at the start of December. Finally, we can share it with you!
For every one of you wonderful people who stopped to talk to our volunteers and sign-up at Coldplay’s shows, for every tweet, comment, hoot and holler, we promised Coldplay would bring you something very special…
Coldplay have been so impressed with the GROWing numbers on our fan wall that they decided to reward fans and supporters of the GROW campaign by gifting Oxfam an exclusive video if we could reach 3000 by today (Friday). And thanks to you guys, we hit the 3000 mark early Thursday!
And the boys have delivered. Coldplay recorded an exclusive version of White Christmas at their Berlin concert this week and have given it to us.
Oxfam On Tour presents Coldplay’s White Christmas
The system by which we produce and consume food is not working. And the reasons are many and complex. But the solution is born of a simple thing. Find the people that want things to change and make their voices heard.
So we asked you to tweet. A simple little tweet, to show just how many people want change to happen. And boy did you guys tweet! In your thousands. Because we all love food but we HATE injustice.
During the Mylo Xyloto tour, Oxfam will be asking fans from London to Los Angeles to join the GROW movement to make our system of producing and consuming food fairer for everyone. This is the first of more videos that Coldplay will release throughout next year’s tour, as our movement grows and grows. So if you want to see more of the band, get your mum, your dad, your great aunt and your next door neighbour tweeting #lovefoodhateinjustice so that we can show the people who have the power to change the food system that we are hungry for change.
Merry Christmas!
Keep tweeting @oxfamontour with #lovefoodhateinjustice! We’ll bring you more exclusive goodness as our movement grows.
Thank you, Coldplay, for the sweet White Christmas video. -Scott
