Weigh in for Trade Justice

June 27 and 28 are very important dates in the Trade Justice Movement calendar. They are the two days this year when thousands of trade justice supporters around the country will be actively lobbying MPs and raising public awareness of trade injustice.

Last year there was a mass lobby of Parliament. This year, lobbying is happening in hundreds of constituencies in the UK. The TJM want more people to be involved to scale-up the campaigning. That's why this year's campaign is called "Scale up for Trade Justice".

To find out about lobbying your MP please contact one of the TJM member organizations, like Christian Aid, Oxfam or Cafod or the Trade Justice Movement itself.

An important part of the "Scale up" is the "Weigh in for Trade Justice". In Greater Manchester it will take place between on Saturday 28 June. This will be a day of celebrating trade justice with special guests, music and free balloons! They would like as many of you as possible to be there to make a big impact.
