Refusing to Be Silenced: Independent Hearing on Trade and Inequality

Corporate-driven trade agreements impact virtually everyone — but the harms caused aren’t felt equally.

Through education, advocacy and coalition-building the Washington Fair Trade Coalition and other Citizens Trade Campaign affiliates seek to make trade policies more equitable and inclusive.
