Make Trade Fair is an Oxfam initiative intended to - among many other things! - put together the largest petition in human history. The petition, called the Big Noise, demands that global decision makers quit putting it together based exclusively on finance and start factoring in people. Fair trade for everyone now!
Make Trade Fair also draws attention to the unethical behaviour exhibited at WTO meetings and general international economic debate. The latest story is on how between the US and the EU, international fair trade dialogue is totally stalled. While they've given a symbolic yellow card to George Bush, it's going to take more than that to get things on track. Act now! [GT]
