Poverty can never be truly beaten without Trade Justice.

Since Make Poverty History began real steps have been taken to cancel Debt and increase Aid. Though we have further to go, you should be proud of the vital part you have played. But on Trade, a critical piece of the jigsaw, there has been little movement.

The rules that govern world trade are currently biased towards Rich countries and their corporations.

The chance to change that, the chance to make trade work for the world’s poorest people, is approaching fast.

In December the World Trade Organisation will meet in Hong Kong – around that table will sit the politicians with the power to change the world’s trade rules and deliver trade justice.

We need your help.

On Wednesday 2nd November you can join thousands of others for a Mass Lobby of Parliament ahead of the crucial WTO meeting. The gathering will give you the chance to let your MP know that you expect the UK Government to support the call to deliver trade justice – not free trade.

Click here to tell us you are coming to Lobby your MP.

Millions of people remain in the lethal trade trap. No matter how hard they work, they earn less every year. Currently, world trade rules rob poor countries of £1.3 billion a day – 14 times what they get in aid.

Be part of the solution… Join the Mass Lobby in Westminster on 2nd November.

Thank you,

The Make Poverty History team
