Events

Global Justice Sheffield would like to invite you to join us for an online talk by Nick Dearden, Director of Global Justice Now, on “Trade As If People Matter”, on Wednesday, May 19th, 7.30 – 9.00 pm, as part of the Festival of Debate.

Nick Dearden, highly respected Director of Global Justice Now, will lay bare how far modern international trade deals are going in adopting and entrenching the principle that maximising short-term corporate profit should override any protections for us and our planet.

Drawing on his new book, Trade Secrets: The Truth About the US Trade Deal and How We Can Stop It, he will set out an ambitious agenda for transforming the international economy so that it can work for people and the planet.

You are invited to join Global Justice Sheffield in celebrating the postponed 50th anniversary year of the national founding in 1970 – in Sheffield – of Global Justice Now, formerly the World Development Movement. Bring your questions and suggestions to an action-focused evening led by one of the foremost campaigners in this field.

This event is free.
