Hi John,
In the face of the corporate interests who are pushing for the US-UK trade deal, our voices can sometimes feel quite small. But there are numerous examples from the last few decades of people’s movements defeating the best efforts of multinational corporations and their political allies to impose similar agreements.

As part of this year’s The World Transformed (TWT) ([link removed][UNIQID]) festival, now itself transformed into an online event throughout September, we’re organising a special discussion on why trade deals have been a crucial part of the way the global economy has been reorganised in favour of the rich – and what we can learn from the rich history of resistance to such deals.


** Corporate trade deals: A history of resistance
------------------------------------------------------------
* When: Wednesday 23 September, 7.30pm-9pm
* Sign up for a ticket on the TWT website ([link removed][UNIQID])

We’re really pleased to be welcoming Luciana Ghiotto a researcher with the Transnational Institute and activist with ATTAC Argentina. Luciana was involved in the successful fight against the Free Trade Area of the Americas and is a co-founder of the continental alliance América Latina Mejor Sin TLC (Latin America is better off without FTAs).

Also speaking will be Nick Dearden, who was a leading light in the campaign against TTIP, the now-abandoned EU-US trade deal, and whose recent book, Trade Secrets, makes the case against the US-UK deal.

I’m really looking forward to digging into why the attempt to impose corporate trade deals has often created moments of crisis for the system, and how we fit into this history of struggle against them. I hope you can join us.

Best wishes,

James O’Nions
Head of activism at Global Justice Now

** The US-UK trade deal could give corporations everything they want. Help us stop it.
------------------------------------------------------------

We are campaigning to stop the toxic US trade deal which is likely to lower food standards, weaken chemical regulation, increase medicine prices and block climate action.

Regular gifts give us the long-term stability to plan effective campaigns for a more just world. And they will help further the campaign to stop this toxic trade deal.
