Campaigning for trade that works for people and planet Modern trade deals can affect everything from food standards to public services. Since the Brexit referendum we’ve campaigned tirelessly for parliament and the public to have a say on trade deals and thousands of you supported
our demands. In early 2019 parliament amended the Trade Bill, introducing democratic processes to scrutinise trade policy. This was a huge step in the right direction, but scared of being defeated, the government later dropped the bill. We’re keeping up the pressure for a democratic process.
With the help of our supporters donating to our crowd funder we launched a legal challenge to the government over its failure to disclose details of its post-Brexit trade meetings. Under pressure, the most the Department for International Trade was prepared to release was almost entirely blacked-out documents.
