Hi John,
Â
We’ve just released two brand new episodes of the Global Justice podcast, which you can listen to on our website or any other platform you get your podcasts from.Â
Episode 9Â explores why the new proposed trade deal between the US and the UK will make us more vulnerable to future crises, while in episode 10Â we discuss the Black Lives Matter protests and the political crisis in the US, their causes, their global repercussions, and the need for internationalism.Â
In Episode 9 of the podcast, Jean Blaylock, trade campaigner at Global Justice Now is joined by Sharon Treat, senior attorney at the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy in the US, Cecilia Olivet, co-ordinator of the trade and investment programme at the Transnational Institute, and Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now.Â
They discuss how trade rules underpin the corporate structure of the global economy, what the Trump administration's trade agenda is, and how the pandemic could lead to a new wave of corporate court (ISDS) cases – and what we can do to change this.

In episode 10, Dorothy Guerrero, head of policy at Global Justice Now, chairs a panel consisting of Abdul Alkalimat, African-American activist, scholar and author, Walden Bello, Filipino public intellectual and activist and Liz Fekete, director of the Institute of Race Relations in London.Â
The panelists explore how structural inequalities and racism in the US, Trump’s catastrophic handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and yet another black man’s death at the hands of US law enforcement combined into the explosive country-wide mass uprising that is now causing ripples around the world.
