Trade Justice Movement

The Trade Justice Movement campaigns for fundamental change to the unjust rules and institutions governing international trade, so that trade is made to work for all. 

All too often, multinational corporations that trade around the world cause harm to communities, damage the environment and violate the rights of working people.

The Trade Justice Movement has long been calling on the UK government to make laws that stop big business profiting at the expense of people and the environment.

The Trade Justice Movement is a fast expanding group of organisations. Amongst those who have signed up to the movement is our Federation, Soroptimist International of Great Britain and Ireland.

 

 

Launch of E-Petition

On 27 January 2009 Trade Justice launched their e-petition - Be a Trade Hero. You can sign a postcard on-line here and send it to a dedicated email address for Soroptimists' postcards: soroptimist@tjm.org.uk. As TJM says, "The postcard action targets new EU Trade Commissioner, Catherine Ashton, urging her to seize the opportunity of her new appointment to break away from Europe's current unfair trade policies."

 

London March

A new movement was born on 28 March 2009, as 35,000 people marched through London calling on leaders to Put People First, to demand decent jobs and public services for all, an end to global poverty and inequality, and a green economy ahead of the G20 meeting taking place in London on 2 April.
