Our new government publicly condemned corporate courts in the past, but it shamelessly continues to pursue and maintain trade deals that include these unjust systems – like the UK-Colombia investment deal, which is enabling mining giants to sue Colombia for millions of dollars.
It's our responsibility to hold them accountable. As the UK government is drawing up its new trade strategy, we must make sure it acts to stop corporate courts. Starting with the UK-Colombia agreement. Your donation will help mobilise more and more people so the UK government is forced to act.
- What your gift can do
- Expose the injustice of the UK-Colombia agreement in the media, giving voice to our Colombian allies, so more people will understand and mobilise against it.
- Make sure our government hears our demands loud and clear, through organising demonstrations and online actions.
- Get more of the public to back the campaign by raising awareness through talks and engaging online and offline materials.
- Strengthen the grassroots movement by working closely with activist groups and trade unions, both here and in Colombia.
- Bolster the wider movement against corporate courts by co-ordinating with allies around the world in a joint global campaign.
Donations will fund Global Justice Now's work generally, making our trade campaign possible.
