Talk to your MEP about Trade Justice

In June 2009, there will be elections to the European Parliament taking place across all 27 EU member states. This is a key opportunity to put our opposition to Europe’s unfair trade deals on the political agenda and to help bring about a fairer approach to Europe’s trade with poor countries.

The global financial crisis has made lobbying on trade even more important as it has demonstrated to people in rich countries what those in poor countries have known for years: the current international economic system doesn't work. Unfair trade deals are part of the problem, and Europe’s policies risk making things worse.

Already, 14 candidates have signed up to our pledge, including 6 sitting MEPs. We need you to make sure the rest do too!

We need you to take an active part in an EU wide campaign to get constituents talking to their MEP candidates. We need to ensure that our EU representatives work to bring about an EU which puts sustainable development and global justice at the heart of all of its policies, especially where trade policy is concerned.
