Trade - TAKE ACTION
Here's how you can help make trade work for people:
Take action to promote fair trade, in Canada and around the world.
Locally
- Buy local produce, and support community-owned small businesses.
- Encourage local agriculture, even in urban areas.
- Write letters to the editor of community and national newspapers, explaining why we need to make trade work for everyone.
- Organize a conference with other community groups in your neighbourhood, exploring the alternatives to corporate globalization.
Nationally
- Encourage your friends and neighbours to vote.
- Contact your Member of Parliament, and demand that the Canadian government enact national policies that protect water, energy and public services from the reaches of trade agreements.
Internationally
- Join the fight to strengthen international treaties to protect the environment, culture, water, labour rights and human rights.
- Join organizations that are working for global social justice — like the Council of Canadians.
- Buy fair trade products.
There are thousands of alternatives! Help make trade work for everyone.
