Stop The UK-US trade deal: National Day of Action Saturday 24 October, Reading Event

October 26, 2020 by reading

We distributed leaflets outside Reading train station. We were campaigning with people across the country and also in the US, to say that whoever wins the US election, the proposed US-UK trade deal must be stopped.

Jackie Oversby said, ‘The deal would weaken the standards that protect the things we value, erode the services that take care of us, and damage the planet. All to entrench corporate power while doing next to nothing to help the real economy. This isn’t the kind of society and economy that people in the UK or the US want – nor do our allies around the world who are fighting similar deals.’

Bente Madiera said, “We are not against trading with America – we already do that – but this proposed deal would kickstart a process that could reshape our society into a corporate marketplace.’

Rich nations owe climate debt to poorer nations for the devastating impacts of their use of fossil fuels over centuries. Poor countries owe financial debts to rich nations. Should we cancel both climate and financial debts, so poorer nations can have money to take effective climate action?
