Saturday 18th April, 11am-2pm: #noTTIP International Day of Action
Civil society groups from across the EU and further afield have called for an international day of action against TTIP and other trade deals on 18th April.
In Sheffield we are going to be undertaking a fun action in Fargate to engage the public and raise awareness of the issues around TTIP. We’ll have some giant hulahoop-sized “coins” for passers-by to have fun spinning: “TTIP = corporate profits” on one side and “People power, no TTIP” on the other. And we will be collecting signatures for the anti-TTIP petition to the European Parliament, and to alert members of the public to all the anti-people changes that big business is trying to sneak in behind our backs.
Meet: at upper Fargate, opposite Norfolk Row and near Next.
Volunteer: to help out on the day (meeting at 10am), we need people to help collect signatures. If you can help out, please contact Oliver: o.blensdorf@gmail.com.
The action is a joint one between Global Justice Sheffield, local supporters of 38 Degrees, Friends of the Earth Sheffield, Sheffield Trades Council, and others. If other groups can join in, please do!
