A range of speakers including Caroline Lucas (Local Green MEP) will be speaking in Southampton on Trade Justice and Injustice on the 26th of February.
2005 offers great opportunities to everybody in this country concerned with world poverty, because Great Britain will hold the Presidency of the European Union and the Chair of the G8.
It is important to put pressure on our government so that real progress can be made during this year. The national MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign (www.makepovertyhistory.org) has three main demands:
Trade Justice;
Drop the Debt;
and More and Better Aid.
This Discussion Day will be concentrating on the first demand, looking at the injustice of present trade structures , and ways in which they could be made more just. We shall also be looking at practical ways of building the local campaign.
