Take Action: Stop Europe's unfair trade deals

Sign the petition urging Gordon Brown to take urgent action to make Europe’s trade deals with poor countries fair.

We need to get Gordon Brown’s attention now.

With only weeks to go, the EU is putting intense pressure on 76 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries to sign free trade agreements that pose serious risks to jobs, livelihoods, economies and the environment.

Zambia is projected to lose up to $15 million – the same amount its government spends on HIV/AIDS annually. This is just one example of how the current agreements could jeopardise progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.

Sign this petition and ask Gordon Brown to make trade work for some of the world’s poorest people.

This action is now closed - thanks to the 3,749 people who signed the petition.
