Trade Justice

The Trade Justice Movement is a fast growing group of organisations including trade unions, aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns, fairtrade organisations, faith and consumer groups.

We believe that everyone has the right to feed their families, make a decent living and protect their environment. But the rich and powerful are pursuing trade policies that put profits before the needs of people and the planet. To end poverty and protect the environment we need Trade Justice not free trade.

As a church we strongly encourage purchase of fair-trade items. Trade will always dwarf aid so it's important we make use of this powerful way of helping others. Always look our for the Fair-trade logo - and don't be constrained thinking it's only chocolate. Loads of foods, wines, clothes, etc can all be bought in a fair trade way.
